Affirmative Action Post of the Day

Comrade Captain Capitalism nails it with Fortune 500 companies and their hiring and promotion priorities. 

First, it was corporations donating to charities like the United Way.
Then it was corporations "going green" or "caring about the environment."
Third was the fad of "fair trade" and implementing full blown "Corporate Social Responsibility" departments.
And now it's magnanimously promoting every possible minority or woman to unearned positions of power or parading them on their advertisements and annual reports for the whole world to see.

I have a personal experience with this that would make his examples pale in comparison. 

Go read it! 

And remember: Affirmative Action is a tax on efficiency, and is as destructive to high-performing minorities as it is to white men.
