I don't see how the results are laughable. The results have been pretty damn good. We don't have a joke of Affirmative Action like various countries in Europe, in which the quotas are fair. We have a large minority population that are more educated and have access to good jobs, which helps lessen the effects of racism. Racism is a natural human behavior which needs to be regulated because has been shown time and time again that most individuals can't govern themselves without affecting the lives of others.

Look at the concept "reverse-racism." Why is it even addressed in such a way? Wouldn't it just be racism? You fire someone because they exceeded a quota based on race? The majority want to be seperated from the struggles of minories. They'll always be racism in one form or another.

Without affirmative action, there would be no equal opportunity.
That is CRAP. Discrimination is illegal based on race, whether there is affirmative action or not. Quotas only give opportunity to the LESS QUALIFIED.
