Personally, I think affirmative action policies are for the most part badly written and implemented. I also know from my personal experience, including in Columbia, SC, in the organizations I have worked in, some private, some government, people were not hired who were not qualified no matter the color of their skin or their gender. But while I never personally knew a Black applicant or female applicant who didn’t get the job who question that, I did know a white man or two who was sure he was being discriminated against because he couldn’t seem to believe that a woman or a Black person was as or more qualified than he was, when indeed, in those examples they were. Just sayin’.
