  • Not only no, but "hell no!" Affirmative action programs are akin to cancer. They are inherently immoral and unethical. You hire the individual that will garner the greatest return on investment, regardless of race, ethnicity, etc. There is no other criteria. Only an ignorant fool would hire based solely on the color of skin, gender and the like. Corporations, perhaps, should have some regulation to ensure that the shareholders' interests are reflected in the management decision making process, but private entrepreneurs ought to have the right to hire whom they damn well please. The risk is the business owners', not society, and the business owner should control his/her own business.
