Hi. My name is Ayluv A. Akshun and I am running for President. I think Affirmative Action is so great that it shouldn't just be applied to education -- let's do it everywhere we can!
How about Politics? Just like in health care, there are so many benefits when people see other people like them as leaders! There are many ethnicities underpresentated in government. I propose that, depending on the fraction of underpresentation, each vote for a candidate should get multiplied by the inverse of that fraction.
How about Sports? Certainly, the makeup of all athletic organizations does not match that of society's, and thus we are missing out on all of the great benefits of proper representation. I propose that we develop financial incentives and special programs to allow in underrepresented ethnicities (e.g., white, Asian). Certainly, we want the best of the best, but as long as they are good athletes, we should allow them in for the sake of diversity. But I am absolutely against quotas! That would be discrimination!
How about the Television? Aside from ZOOM on PBS and the morning Saturday shows, there are no programs that show a balanced representation of all ethnicities. I propose we get rid of Phoebe and Joey on Friends and replace them with Halle Barry and that Asian guy from VIP.
