Consider this situation:
A company/university/etc. wants to bring in new people. They have several prospective individuals, all qualified. They discover that [insert minority group here] is underrepresented. By taking "affirative action" to supplement that particular group, they hire/enroll the minority person first.

It shouldn't be about promoting underqualified people but, instead, giving "preference" to the qualified, yet underrepresented, group.
