It is time to end affirmative action. It is not fair to the nation as a whole:

1) If Person A with a 95 average total and is White applies to an Ivy League college and Person B who is Black and say with an 80 average total applies to the same college then Person B gets in to further the cause of diversity. That is not fair.

2) My local police department currently has 2,672 sworn officers with about 30% nearing 20 year retirement that means we need to start hiring. They have 250 openings and 29,000 people have applied. The test is $100 and Blacks, Hispanics and Females can take the test for free but Asians and White males must pay. Not fair. Yes, the department is close to 90% white male and has been mostly White males ever since the department was created in 1960.
