Positive discrimination
Anyone in favour of it?

Even if by doing it some sort of barrier or culture gets changed that makes everything fairer in the future?

First person to say something stupid gets a patronising reply from me.

The situation
I'm dealing with is one of gender, but the same applies really. The debate always gets dragged down into some sort of vicious flaming and/or trolling, so it's hard to know what people really, reasonably think.

Perhaps
Can't find one elsewhere either though, thought it was worth a try.

Everyone's got an agenda, and there is a shitload of bad science when it comes to gender equality.

I was impressed with your "what?" response

(Psyc-Ho-Ho-Ho-Chomp **bearer of the waki crown**, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:12, Reply)

Why?

(Land of Green Ginger God's away on business, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:14, Reply)

How about
if you were the ones benefitting?

Say, if you're a working class male, would you approve positive discrimination to get more of you into university?

No such thing as positive discrimination in my book.
It's still discrimination, however you dress it up.
