The Argument for Affirmative Action

The defense of affirmative action is based on the irrational and deeply offensive view that you can understand a person's ideology and worldview simply by looking at their race. I would bet any amount of money that a very poor white person who lives in a town that has been deindustrialized have vastly more in common with an extremely wealthy black person. The idea that there should be some regular person who's a nurse or who's a police officer or whatever of any race never occurs to them, he says.
