which argues that affirmative action programs are still
needed and useful for providing equal educational and
employment opportunities to women and minorities. The

hold up as legitimate reasons for ending affirmative action.

Richard Rodriguez on Affirmative Action : A 4 research
paper that looks specifically at Rodriguez's autobiography,
Hunger of Memory, in order to analyze his opinions on
affirmative action. Rodriguez has a unique ability to see
minority issues from a slightly different perspective. This
perspective is enlightening even if one does not agree with
his conclusions. For instance, Rodriguez is opposed to
affirmative action even though he admits that such social
action programs benefited him throughout his academic
career. The writer demonstrates that it is Rodriguez's views
on class inequality rather then racial inequality that is at the
basis of his philosophy. Quotations from the source.

Affirmative Action Has Always Existed For Whites In
America : 3 pages in length. The American white race has
always been afforded the benefits of affirmative action,
which has not set well with those of other ethnic
backgrounds. Without having been formally established,
this unwritten Caucasian preference has not only established
a significant separation between and among the races, but it
has also created deep-seated resentment from the
African-American point of view. The writer discusses how
Ellis Cose's book entitled “The Rage Of A Privileged Class”
directly addresses these issues in such a way as to point out
the considerable discrepancies with regard to Caucasian
preferential treatment. No additional sources cited.

Affirmative Action ? : A 9 page research paper examining the

its usefulness; and at least one maintains that the quota system
was illegal from the outset and was never supposed to have
been an issue. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Workplac.wps
