None of This Is Fair

You’re right, Rodriguez, It’s not fair. It’s not fair that I try my hardest to get hired for one substantial job but all the opportunities just seem to fall into your lap. You shouldn’t receive the benefits of Affirmative Action, or even qualify for the program. You already have plenty of credentials and experience to get any job of your choice and your ethnicity does not stop you from obtaining that. Affirmative Action is meant to create equal opportunity for minorities or people of different race and culture; however, this program has unconsciously made unfair treatment and inequality for ethnicities that are not minorities. It’s not fair that the schools with Affirmative Action only care about the ethnicity of their teachers so they can get the Mexican- American perspective, in your case. This unfairness stifles the advantages of the other qualified people that do not receive Affirmative Action; therefore, we should make all opportunities equal for everyone.
