I’ve known quite a lot of people to complain about affirmative action and similar efforts. And while I can agree it’s a pretty clumsy solution, I’m not sure what people expect when they’re not willing to have a deeper conversation about the tensions and issues that lead there, even outside the United States. In the U.S. itself it’s headache-inducing when people’s “solution” is to simply undo affirmative action with no other response or ideas to take its place.
