keeping a balance
I have to admit that affirmative action as a policy is wrong in its definition because uses the word 'colour'.We live in the 21st century and the word 'colour' should be used only for things,not for people as people have no 'colour'.The result of affirmative action in a lot of companies might seem beneficial for some people but if affirmative action did not exist, it would be a lot more beneficial for some other people.Look at all the charter companies in Lanseria for example,do you see a lot of 'black 'people taking jobs?Look at all the other southafrican companies that operate out of South Africa and are operated by these 'afrikaans',do you see many black people working for those companies?That's why affirmative action exists,to keep a balance,I don't personally see anything wrong with that.
