History and Opinions on the Policy of Affirmative Action

Racial discrimination is a much older issue than the country we live in. Racial discrimination, bias, discrimination existed from the beginning. Over the years society has taken a long way to cope with this eternal problem; however, the problem still exists in today's world. It affects who we are and where we go in life. Therefore, if race discrimination can change our lives so dramatically, there may be doubts about how to stop this unfair act. Positive behavior is a solution, or a way to balance past African Americans with other minority inequalities.

Positive behavior has been considered a necessary tool to supplement the history of American racial discrimination for a long time. As time goes on, the constitutionality of an aggressive action policy faces several challenges and casts doubts: Do these policies violate the Equal Protection Clause from 14th to 14th revision? In 2008, Abigail Fisher was refused admission to the University of Texas at Austin. Fisher filed a lawsuit and thought that her skin color was rejected. The University defended the decision and pointed out that Fisher's rejection is due to her performance rather than her game. Fischer vs. University of Texas at Austin (2013) was approved by the Supreme Court, but expectations for a new case are not yet established

Positive behavior is always a controversial policy. Opponents condemn the positive behavior of setting group rights and setting quotas, neither of which is consistent with the American tradition. Advocates of positive behavior believe that the long-term history of group discrimination must take positive actions, and efforts to compensate for certain bad behaviors in the past are completely within the boundaries of federal government obligations .

Advocates of active behavioral policy can not recognize huge cheating directly related to policy. Promotional action advocates are not aware of the moral failure that affirmative action policies actually exist in our society. Because of government discrimination, racial preferences created a class of innocent victims. Innocent victims created by affirmative action policy are thousands of white men rejected for work, scholarship, promotion. These people are discriminated by the federal government just because they are the wrong color and sex. Currently, there are more than 160 federal laws, regulations and administrative orders that require sex and race preferences (Rinder n.p.). Current aggressive action policies directly contradict the original goals and principles of the equal opportunity employment program. Unfortunately, the current policy encourages government discrimination.
