You are basically insinuating that minorities are less qualified. Most companies aren't hard pressed to find qualified candidates with the selected quotas. Affirmative Action may have some flaws where exceptions happen pertaining to small businesses but overall it's been great for integrating minorities into US society.

Just having anti-discrimination laws only invokes theory and idealness. It's extremely hard for anyone to prove discrimination. With affirmative action, it turns theory into fact.

McCain backs ban on affirmative action in Arizona Presidential candidate John McCain on Sunday endorsed a proposal to ban affirmative action programs in his home state, a policy that Democratic rival Barack Obama called a disappointing embrace of divisive tactics. In the past, McCain has criticized such ballot initiatives. In an interview that aired Sunday, McCain was asked whether he supported an effort to get a referendum on the ballot in Arizona that would do away with race and gender-based preferences, known as affirmative action.
