i completely agree with you. i've never liked the idea of affirmative action because i think that while it exists we (all races and genders included) can never be truly equal. there will always be people wondering if that person only made it in or was only hired because he/she was of a different ethnic origin or gender than what was accepted as the dominant/majority.
