The way Affirmative Action works............are all beneficiaries considered equal?
|
let's say,
you have a white woman vs a black woman.
They are both women..........so they are both beneficiaries of Affirmative Action.
Are these two considered to be equal???
or is preference given to the black woman, since she is a dobule beneficiary (being both black & female.)
???

Absolutely not, no. If you are making the decision based on race how can people be considered equal? |
