Re: The just and the unjust ways to address modern racial inequality: affirmative actWelcome to the real world, CNHander. Yes, of course affirmative action is fighting prejudice with prejudice, and no, it's not logical, nor just, nor will it work in the end. What it does is cause us to wonder whether that minority person in a high position got there due to merit, or due to affirmative action. Even if it is the former, the doubt is still there, to the detriment of those who made it by merit.We will not achieve Martin Luther King's dream until we quit pigeonholing people as this race or that ethnicity and judge people on the content of their character.
