Personally I feel that its bad idea for the fact that affirmative action is sexist / racist. You end up selecting people based on their skin color / sex rather than their ability.

The bit that leaves out is that this already happens without affirmative action.

Affirmative action is definitely racist and sexist. Without it, maybe it is in some cases.
