Arrirmative Action Still Need

Affirmative action has it been interrupted in 2000’s, I will argue this point by showing you that it’s still need today.

How would you feel to find out that you were the most experience with a superior education candidate for the job but you did not get it? Today it’s known for a woman to make $55,000 a year while a white male with the same qualification make $100,000 a year in a workforce.

By using affirmative action, that is race-neutral and gender-neutral assurance against discrimination
