Is affirmative action immoral?

So long as a woman is highly qualified, affirmative action based on gender is OK. I do not believe that affirmative action based on race or ethnicity is ok, GIVEN PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. On a state by state basis, affirmative action based on race should be discontinued. Affirmative action based on past economic and educational disadvantage, so long as the candidate is qualified, should be instituted. Affirmative action places too much attention on race and ethnicity. Given the fact that it encourages people to perceive people on that basis, it harms more than it helps. And there are just too many people nowadays who are of mixed race and ethnicity to be able to justly decide who gets the extra boost and who doesn’t.
