@Naio posted:It was a bad faith argument. Sorry you went through all that. Your situation is not unique or special. Many americans have been passed over or let go so a company could hire someone younger for less salary. That's just business. Would you be upset if a non minority was hired instead? If yes, it's a bad faith argument against affirmative action. If no, then people like you are the reason for affirmative action in the first place.
there is a big difference between being beat out for a job and it is given to someone to fill quotas. Government does a terrible job of operating, They shouldn't be telling private business how to operate. Affirmative action is government picking winners and losers. My experience is listed as an example. When I sat in a meeting and was told promotions would go to minorities, guess what. Women were considered a minority. The person in charge of meeting was female. As I remember 60-70% of managers in attendance were women. The woman sitting next to me, said "what are our sons to do?". Telling a private business what to do, how much to pay, who to hire is infringing on their constitutional rights.
