Well, I learned all about this in my American Government class..
My places will hold spots so they can be balanced. For example:
Quote:

A college has 20 spaces open, but they need 15 more black students to even out the population of blacks and whites in the campus. 15 black kids apply, but they are of below average intelligence. 20 white kids apply, all of above average intelligence. The college would then accept 15 black kids and 5 white.

How is that even
remotely fair? You should pick the person who is more talented - not whoever fills up your majority - or evens something out.
I am all for equal rights, but not in this case -- giving people who aren't qualified because the company/college/whatever needs them to even something out.
It's just plain stupid.
