The Australian way of affirmative action is setting goals and recognising discrimination and lack of opportunity and deciding to take action and setting some goals and targets. I guess I prefer that language to talking about quotas.

I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.

To abandon affirmative action is to say there is nothing more to be done about discrimination.

Affirmative action was always racial justice on the cheap.

Segregation and affirmative action are identical phenomena which harness state auspices to impose racist dogma.

Some folks of color clamor on about how they don't want their white friends to feel uncomfortable when addressed with the topic of race. Well I say, if they're your friend they'll understand the need. Being uncomfortable leads to action, hopefully affirmative.
