Many people have lost jobs to less-qualified people because of affirmative action. Do you oppose affirmative action too? At least the Indians are equallly qualified.


Your comparison is flawed for several reasons:

Outsourcing is done by companies to fatten the bottom line
Afirmative Action is there to ensure that RACISM doesn't rule America


Outsourcing Takes jobs OUT of the American Economy
Afirmative Action does not



Outsourcing was invented by the same people that gave us Enron, Worldcom, Global Crossing, Arthur Anderson (in other words, crooks out to get as much money as they can into their own pockets)
Afirmative Action was created by Tired, abused, neglected TALENTED people who were sick of being passed over SIMPLY because their skin was a different color


And finally,
If ALL American workers tommorow decided they would work for half what Indians work for...they would IMMEDIATELY get their jobs back.

Without Affirmative Action, Blacks in this country would find themselves "less qualified" than every white person walking in the door (yes even Cleatus the slack-jawed yokel).


Please try to keep things in perspective...your comparison reminds me of Republican arguments.
