Quote:The OPPOSITE end is giving people who have a harder time all manner of help, possibly to the point where they didn't even have to do any work to "succeed".
This is EXACTLY what affirmative action does, and why I hate it so much. It makes a 'success' pretty much effortlessly, and while this does help deserving people, it also improperly elevates people who do not have the aptitude or motivation to deserve the success they have been given. That sort of success is a given success, not an earned success, and all it does is weaken the people it is supposed to help, all the while causing resentment among everyone else. It's this nearsighted ignorance of long-term damage that is the evil of AA.
