It is unfair for those who actually work their entire life for a position in their dream college but someone who has an exotic ethnicity might have a higher acceptance rate.

Affirmative Action judges the value of people based on the color of their skin. No person, no matter their race, should be given an advantage or disadvantage just because of their ethnicity.

Not only has affirmative action been found to hold no true benefit to any communities but Affirmative Action is actually harmfull and unequal to many communities.

People in our country who are discriminated against deserve to be protected even at the expense of the most privileged in our society. Equity is the only way to ensure everyone has the chance to live a life of dignity.

Affirmative action, while created with good intentions, can sometimes inadvertently foster resentment or a sense of entitlement. For instance, consider a scenario where a well-deserving candidate is passed over for a job or college admission because of an affirmative action quota. This could lead to resentment from the individual who was passed over and a potential devaluation of the achievement of the person who received the opportunity. Instead, wouldn't it be more equitable to address the root causes of these inequalities, such as improving access to quality education and resources for all, irrespective of their background? This way, we are leveling the playing field, not tipping the scales.

How might we ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, without potentially creating more divides in the process?
