10 Reasons Not to Vote for Ron Paul

[Nym90]

While I wouldn't vote for Paul to begin with, not all of the reasons listed above are bad:

1 - Affirmative Action has long since outlived its designed purpose and causes a problem by stoking racial tension when qualified people are passed over because of a numerical quota. 

You do realize quotas are unconstitutional, and have been banned ever since the Supreme Court ruled in Bakke in 1978, right?

I agree with you that race based preferences need to end, and I suppose if the race based preference is strong enough it could amount to a de facto quota if no white candidates can possibly meet the standards. I feel that other preferences, such as for socioeconomic status, should replace race based preferences.

I was just trying to clear up the very common misperception that quotas can and do still exist legally.
