For the past decade, there had been countless times where people had questioned whether or not affirmative action was considered the solution or the problem. Through affirmative action, minority groups were given an equal opportunity that white people had. Examples would be high school athletes who receive scholarships based on their permanence in games rather than their grades. This allows athletes to get into schools that they were unable to get into before. Another example would be admission into a certain program based on either ur gender or race. This allows certain race and women to receive opportunities that others have had for a long time. Although affirmative action can be beneficial, some individuals like Abigail Fisher, believes that affirmative action is the problem because it causes individuals to be rejected from certain public facilities just because they are not a minority group. In my opinion, i believe that affirmative action is beneficial and allows minority groups to have opportunities that they never had before. This doesn't create a disadvantage for whites, instead, it helps to level the playing field.
