Political Correctness and Affirmative Action

Both are contributions of the Left. Thanks.

"In the wake of L.A.'s Rampart Division scandal, where 30 officers were suspended or fired, former LAPD deputy chief Steve Downing said, 'Rampart wasn't about cops who became gangsters. It was about gangsters who became cops.' Downing adds that elected officials refuse to acknowledge the obvious: Institutionalized racial preferences 'allowed persons of poor character to be hired.'"

Gender and racial distinctions have significance and meaning and therefore should not be blurred in such a way.
