I believe in meritocracy, there are many ways to help underprivileged, letting them cut the line is hardly a solution. Improving healthcare, educational reforms and economical conditions provide opportunities to everyone. Affirmative action only helps some.Assuming people can’t do it on their own and need handouts, is a disrespectful notion, not any better than imposing quotas on Asians and saying they need to work twice as hard.
This thread reminded me of California’s 209. Usually they support social engineering but for whatever reason they don’t like affirmative action.
