Affirmative+Action

Affirmative Action: programs designed to increase minority participation in some institution (businesses, schools, labor unions, or government agencies) by taking positive steps to appoint more minority-group members.

Equality of Opportunity: giving people an equal chance to succeed. Equality of Result: making certain that people achieve the same result.

Reverse Discrimination: giving African Americans, women, and other minorities preferential treatment over other groups. While discrimination is wrong, it has also been declared that reverse discrimination is equally unfair. "The Constitution and laws should be color-blind and sex-neutral".
