Naval Academy sued over affirmative action admissions policy

According to the progressives, you need to have affirmative action to correct the injustices done to minorities .. excuse me, CERTAIN minorities .. and it needs to start in elementary school - https://scholarworks.umb.edu/nejpp/vol10/iss1/9/

After that, you need affirmative action (because using it in elementary school or secondary school didn't correct the racial injustice that is inherent in a system that expect results) to get them into college. Then to get them into a job. Then to get them promoted.

If the goal of affirmative action is to level the playing field so minorities (sorry ... CERTAIN minorities .. don't want to trigger the far-left progressives) can compete equally with others, at what point does it turn into a "content of character" instead of "color of their skin" or "identification as something else"?

Call me a bigot (I know .. far-left progressives call everyone who doesn't goosestep to their ideology a bigot), but I don't want to pilot to be the four times affirmative action individual. I want the one that is best at flying the plane. That goes for who's operating on me, giving me financial advice, and so on.

By all means, the far-left can employ all the four time AA individual when they have surgery or are on a private chartered flight with your closest progressives with you, but the rest of us will be "bigots" and take the next doctor/pilot/whatever that didn't 'check a box'.

Affirmative Action is not racist, per se. What it became was racial quotas - and that is racist.

Additionally, even the quotas part was historically necessary to balance out years of systemic racism. But that was then......

These days, affirmative action has become a way to hire less qualified candidates based on innate characteristics, such as skin color or ancestry. This has become the goal.

But if a plane is crashing, I don't want the best available <insert minority group here> pilot. I just want the best pilot available, regardless of any other attribute.

I grew up until I was 14 overseas and was educated under their school systems.
In British schools it was about who was related to whom.
In Russia we were told NOT TO GET TOO FRIENDLY - with the other 8 year olds.
The French were mostly concerned about what year the wine was and what bakery made the bread after classes where no one paid attention because they were better home schooled during the weekends.
Germany was where I learned that the 'regular volk' never supported Hilter even as my father and mother took us to Magdeburg to visit her grandfather's boyhood home, where her grand uncles and aunts had been taken away to the death camps.
Spain was the place where people were concerned about how many years they could afford to send their children to school.
While the Phillipines - what schools? I spend the year in Guam so I could attend a school.

Imagine my confusion when I returned to mainland United States and found people were passed to the head of the academic line because of 'Affirmative Action.'
