Our discussion in class regarding affirmative action,-- here's my suggestion on how to make it more fair....i don't know if it would ever work because i don't know how that type of stuff works exactly, but wouldn't it be better if the question of race and sex wasn't even brought into question--everyone was looked upon as a number. that way everyone is placed at an equal opportunity. that way when taking the civil service test it would be oh person 12753 scored higher then 578532 he/she is picked first, same with school, like why does race and gender have to matter, you are a number, if you -being only know as a number has scored higher then a different number then you're picked first. I understand that location could play into effect but i think it sounds a bit more fair then letting your race play a -even though it's small, a part into your admission.
