Affirmative Action doesn't mean taking the minority out of two equally qualified candidates, it means quotas. "You must have this many percent of your workforce be this certain minority or we'll sue." (Particularly the NAACP.)

Affirmative Action forces employers to take less qualified candidates based solely on their skin color.

Who's more likely to get into college based on race/sex? Not white males.
