Do you support affirmative action programs?

In government jobs, there should be basic fairness.

It should be comparable to the percents of diversity in that area, and the amount of diversity in the sector.

Yes, and drastically increase the current amount of programs, but Regardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty

No, on the contrary, affirmative action programs should be made illegal.

Affirmative action disproportionately impacts Asians and Jews. I agree with the sentiment but not the execution.

Yes, mandatory for government institutions. Optional for private institutions.

Yes, but not for reasons out of one’s control such as skin color

No, it would definitely create more tension between minority and majorities

No, nobody should receive favorable treatment based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation.

I don't see a real need for affirmative action anymore. Everyone should enjoy equal opportunity

Yes, but not on a race basis. Rather, on an income basis. Or some other scale that accounts for people who make a decent income only by working overtime, or who do not get to live a lifestyle expected of that income, such as if they have a lot of kids to provide for or have big health expenses. The point of affirmative action is to make all races equal, making up for the inequality perpetuated by generations due to the only recent desegregation laws. (My grandparents lived through that, it is so new.) But affirmative action only helps if it is helping the minorities who need it. All people…  Read more are equally valuable, so other races should be included as well, as their equality will be equally beneficial to our society and to them individually.
Also, to gain equality, we should improve education. Especially simple and significant would be adding finances to the common core to teach budgeting, finance psychology, investing, and entrepreneurship.

Yes, and review all laws for updating to support current issues.

No, it violates equal protection

No, unless they change it to be based on socioeconomic class

No, Affirmative Action fosters racial divisions.

No, but we should create more social and community programs to address poverty.

No, we should instead encourage colorblindness instead

No, each person should be treated equally.

In theory, but the way they work now isn't great

Yes but only to desegregate the democrats and republicans.

Yes, but only in the case of initial disproportionate representation

No, affirmative action is no longer needed anymore and the soft bigotry of lowered expectations does not help minority groups. People should be judged based on their socioeconomic class instead of their identity (race, ethnicity, sex, etc.).

No, but some financial reparations and reparative representation are necessary to close the racial divide.

Not in the case of higher education admissions.

Minority groups should be better represented in the interview stage, but the best candidate -- regardless of race -- should be selected in the end

Yes, although these programs should reflect income, not race or ethnicity.

I don't really know that much about affirmative action programs.

Regardless, we should create more social programs to address inequality regardless of race or ethnicity

I think everybody, regardless of race, religion, etc. should be given equal opportunities.

No, it is an ineffective and equally racist (to POC) solution to racism

Yes, but we should create more social programs so that universities don't have to rely on it.

We should find solutions to problems that help minorities, not give the government more power and use more taxpayer funds

No, Everyone should be treated equally regardless of race.

Yes and make it PRO 2nd Amendment Programs that talk how to use in self defense

Yes and make a PRO 2nd Amendment Programs that talk how to use in self defense

No, and no groups should not receive any favorable treatment

No, and the government shouldn't be involved in them

Yes, and we should prioritize programs that focus on poverty and uplift multiple groups.

No, admission should be based on whoever is qualified. Race, Gender, religion should not play a role in the decision.

Maybe affirmative action, at the era of inception has helped given previously discriminated peoples the education they need. But at this current era, where anyone can get an education regardless of race or sex, government should take out the race quota part in ensuring equal education and start focusing on preparing children, particularly those who don't have enough saved up for college, to take on the costs of an quality teritary education.

No, the government shouldn't be involved

Yes, as long as the government isn't involved and/or making them mandatory

They should be based on income, not race.

Yes, However minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment

Yes, everyone should be treated equally no matter their Race, Sexual orientation, and Gender.

No, we should help students from lower-income backgrounds to access higher education. Addressing the class gap in higher education will also address race gaps.

No, we should focus more on anti-poverty programs instead

No, the experience and skill of a person should be the only factors that determine a person's eligibility to be hired.

Yes, until the public is able to function properly without discrimination based on race, gender, etc.
