Just because you enroll more minorities in your college, doesn't mean you're making the playing field even. When someone isn't good enough to get into a certain college, they're out of their league when they get in. Only 15% of black and 22% of hispanic affirmative action students accepted to Berkeley in 1987 graduated (D'Souza 1990, 233). To give minorities a better life "we have to fix the moral decay caused by the absence of two parent families to help minorities" (K eyes 1996, 1). Affirmative action is also insulting to minorities because they may feel they have to be helped out just to get a job (Steele 1990, 37). A minority that benefits form affirmative action may feel that they're inadequate for the job they were hired for. "Every employee that benefits from affirmative action bears a mark of not being the best pick, but only the best pick from a limited group" (DeWit 1996, 1). When one thinks about it, they will discover that they would get a better feeling of satisfacti on if they got a job because they were the best person for the job, not because they were hispanic. Employers may also feel cheated because they didn't get as good a worker as they could have gotten (DeWit 1996, 1). Employers that hiring employees solel y on the color of their skin are discriminating (DeWit 1996, 2). Affirmative action is very dangerous to the american people. If an employee hires an under qualified worker then that worker puts others at risk if he or she doesn't have enough experience to know what to do and what not to do. It's also financially da ngerous. You don't want to pay unexperienced people to do work they're not qualified for. In conclusion, affirmative action is just wrong. Affirmative action should be abolished, such an unlawful thing shouldn't even be considered in the United States. If we allow affirmative action to proceed, we are just proving to ourselves that we endor se and accept discrimination in the workplace. There is absolutely no reason why it should exist. Affirmative action lends a bad name to the United States of America. Others may view our fine country as a country with people that are so irresponsible the government has to lower its standard just to get people jobs (DeWit 1996, 2). This indicates that affirmative action should be outlawed because it has no place in our fine country.
