Am Ende ist das Aussprechen von positiven Maßnahmen in ausgewählten Hochschulen so, als würde man über die Größe eines Zapfens streiten, während der Pool und die Rohrleitung, die ihn füttert, ignoriert werden. Slots bei Duke und Princeton und Cal sind endlich.

Republicans can be a funny bunch. They're against affirmative action, but they always seem to be able to find people of color to fill a slot just when they're most needed.

John Ridley

Affirmative action works but we're going to need to muster all our political resources if we are to keep it in place.

Harold Washington

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn't do this out of compassion or guilt. It's done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team.

J. C. Watts

Affirmative action has a negative effect on our society when it means counting us like so many beans and dividing us into separate piles.

John Kasich

What is so remarkable about the success of affirmative action is that it has been accomplished despite the Justice Department and the policies of the federal government.

Harold Washington

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.
