Affirmative action should be education and opportunity, not quotas. We should concentrate on training the historically disadvantaged and those who traditionally are absent from certain jobs and make them competent to compete in those areas. We should not promote incompetence just because of who a person is, including making loans to people or organizations that have no hope of paying them back. To me, Affirmative action is overcoming my own prejudices (because everybody has some) and accepting others for who they are.
