Affirmative Action

In this blog post, I'm going to be talking about affirmative action and if it should be used when doing college admissions. Affirmative action was put into place to help get rid of the discrimination that was present. All affirmative action is doing is creating even more discrimination. Discrimination is the act of favoring one group of people over another group. All affirmative action is is favoring a certain persons skin color when deciding if they should be accepted into a certain school. By using someones race to help decide if they should be admitted into a college is flat out racism. A person's race is not something that you have control over so it should be used in favor or against anyone. Not only is it racist, but it's not in the best interest of the schools. When a school is decided who to accept into their school, they look for the most qualified students. When using affirmativve action, it makes it easier for under qualified students to get accepted over students who are more qualified. After looking over all the different pro's and con's for affirmative action, the cons have outweighed the pro's. Overall, I think that affirmative action should be banned in all universities.
