Positive discrimination.... Discuss!
Sometimes the best man for the job is a woman: but it's more about having the right people in charge in the first place; than hiring people because of an attribute which has no bearing on the task they are hired to do.
I don't think there's any such thing, if you're referring to people.
It's an attempt to redress real world discrimination and employer discrimination, which exists.
But positive discrimination is an inadequate band aid for a bigger problem - inequality created by capitalism. It is ultimately naive when we have things like The Reserve Army Of Labour (deliberately cultivated unemployment).
The answer is to eradicate all unemployment and offer further education to all.
oxymoron
there's nothing positive about discrimination my friend was sold this bullshit when she went for a job and they explained that was the reason she hadn't got the job
