First of all let me say I do not want affirmative action to be necessary. I think race should not influence a decision on wither on not someone is qualified for a school or job. Race is a circumstance of birth you have as much control over it as the color of your eyes. I really does not have any impact over wither or not you are qualified to be doing something. Isn't getting a job or into a good school because you are black or Latino the same as someone getting preference because they are white. In a perfect world it would be irreverent, someone qualified and deserving would get the opportunity and that would be the end of it.That said the world is not perfect. People are treated unfairly because of race everyday. Affirmative action attempts to balance the scales. I do not know if it is the best way, but I know I do not have anything better. Maybe one day it will not be necessary. If and when is up for some statistician to decide. I hated statistics.
