'Discriminate Against Race\r'

'AbstractThe issues of inc business line and gender, and more precisely the issues of equal rights for every adept regardless of race and gender, continue to be moot and never fully addressed. While weapons platforms uniform Affirmative Action have seek to provide equal opportunity, they have failed because of one main issue- if it is injustice to discriminate against racial minorities and women on the account of their race or sex, then it similarly unjust to croak them preference for the same reason.This es cite depart prove this statement by demonstrate specific examples of how preferential interference increases instead than decreases the importance of race and gender in American society. Basically, there are 3 main reasons why preferential treatment makes racial and gender differences important instead of eliminating them. First, preferential treatment gives the appearance that nonage genders or races are inferior and take up to be given expediency non on their me rit or ability, provided on their membership in a certain stem (Cohen & Sterba, 2003), truly putting them at a larger disadvantage.Second, there is the issue of reverse discrimination, which fundamentally means that by giving advantage to the minority, the majority is discriminated against in the long run. Lastly, the cookery of programs like Affirmative Action and others constrain divisions between minority groups themselves, as separately group vies for advantage over the others, which puts the minorities with the smallest total at the biggest disadvantage, as their voice cannot be heard clearly enough.Perhaps the bottom line in racial/gender discrimination, ironically enough, is that true equality can probably never be realized, for one group will always come up with less than another if a program exists to provide advantages which are not rigorously merit based. In closing, it is fair to say that until a â€Å"magic bullet” is demonstrable for true equality, the scales will always be askew.\r\n References\r\nCohen, C., & Sterba, J. P. (2003).
