Affirmative Action

From BOTW, got this story about a black Australian bodyguard who is suing because he contends he was "overpromoted" due to his skin color, and as a result made mistakes due to his lack of training that led to reassignment.
Affirmative action just leads to resentment (for those who get passed up because of their skin color) and guilt (for those who get something because of their skin color). Get rid of it now, please.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. One one hand it's a comment on the ever increasing stupidity of our society. On the other hand, if this sort of lawsuit becomes popular, it could help put on end to racism (in the form of affirmative action).

I've said it since day one - eliminate affirmative action. It's more racist than racism.
