But seriously, can you explain that? Positive discrimination? Color me skeptical, but last time I checked Affirmative Action was about filling slots in a beaurocratic fashion that benefits nobody but the PR department.
I'm speaking generally of course, not US-specific.


The basis is that white, heterosexual males are the subject of positive discrimination too, that they will be preferred over other candidates. Thus legislation is introduced to level the playing field, and force employers to consider candidates who are not white, heterosexual males.
