Positive discrimination or affirmative action as the US call it is a policy I don’t like, but understand why it’s used.
Lets consider the BNP members who say they will only hire white people, that’s racial discrimination and it’s happened a lot in the past. Affirmative action type legislation is there to try to create a balance to offset the racists and discriminators in our society, I don’t like it, but I do understand why it’s used.
Since we have a problem with racism and other forms of discrimination how as a country are we to strike a balance between being fair to everyone including minorities (not just race, but fair for those with disabilities, sexual preference etc…) and not discriminating against the majority?
Is positive discrimination better than allowing negative discrimination to go unchecked?
