EDIT to add: I'm not terribly familiar with employment AA, my response was based more on the college admissions-style AA where applicants are shown more favor due to minority status. I'm not sure if any employment AA works like that or not...

Guys, AA in employment is nothing like what it sounds like you guys are describing in the college admissions aspect.

Put simply, there are no quotas, there is no favoritism to any minority race or gender, and discrimination is discrimination. The law explicitly outlines that you can't discriminate against anyone, white or black.

In fact, hiring an underqualified black person to fill self-imposed quotas instead of more qualified whites is just as much cause for discrimination suits as the opposite.

I'm not familiar with the AA aspect you guys describe in college, and it sounds like it relies alot on reverse discrimination, which is not right.

In fact, it almost sounds like AA is two totally different animals between employment and university.
