I'm more perplexed by it's continuation. In a country where we have equal opportunity regardless of race, and it's a criminal offense to discriminate against race while hiring, Affirmative action should be retired.
In reality it's a taboo topic. Even if there's no need for it's existence in today's era, contending that it should be retired is immediately perceived as a racist sentiment.
I recall when they tried implementing same-sex protocols throughout the military. Completely glossed over physiological differences in favor of implementing equal standards and housing.
