Reaction to "Affirmative Action: The Problem or Solution?"
The documentary clearly defined affirmative action; an attempt to allow minorities to have access to jobs and education that they were originally denied. Gary Anthony Ramsey in addition he presented sufficient arguments for and against it. Ramsey addressed that affirmative action affected not only race but gender. Some of the arguments against affirmative action were interesting, for example saying that it was no longer needed, or giving people positions they are unqualified for and arguments similar to Fisher's that it is actually racism. There were also interesting arguments that supported affirmative action, that minorities still suffer, and that diversity is necessary and beneficial. I believe that if there was equality no matter the gender or the race of a person there would be no need for affirmative action.
