That is pretty much how most high ranking positions are obtained.

Nepotism.
Or Friendship. Or Life. Any of these will suffice. All are race-blind.
Jesus, to fuck up with a false equivocation this badly should prompt you to take this belief to a mirror, and look hard. Liberals are just crippled by an inability to think when it comes to race.So it's affirmative action but for white people who benefit from it. No?
In the business world id venture a guess that benefits white folks the most. Who your father knows.
Families and cultures "meritocratically" create this wealth for themselves. Your family and your subculture isn't their burden.That is pretty much how most high ranking positions are obtained. It is about who can you have lunch or dinner meeting with.
If it is somebody of your family, it is called "nepotism." It is interesting how all the "meritocracy" people seldom have strong negative opinions about this. LOL

There is no government or institution imposing this, so literally, straightforwardly, irrefutably, no. No, it isn't "affirmative action". It's human nature.
I know Larry David is kidding, but he isn't. Right Wingers act like if an Orange Bum is going to apply for a job, and get hired over a Green Genius, because the Orange people were oppressed by Green people once upon a time in history.
However, this is not how things work. If your resume is being looked at, and you make it to the interview, you are qualified for the job. So, the only thing that is left to judge, are things that you can't put in a resume or CV.
Let's be honest, if it comes down to that, a Green Boss will be more likely to hire a Green Employee. That is just a fact of life. As long as we qualify ourselves as Green, Orange, Blue, Red and whatever else skin color, the probability of associating with our own skin color is pretty high.
Affirmative Action males sense to me. I don't think 1 or 2 qualified Orange people being hired over a Green person, in a society dominated by Green people is something to get triggered or cringed about. LOL
Affirmative Action made sense in the 60's, 70's and possibly 80's, because most schools and businesses were still operating on a pre-1964 civil rights mindset. They had to be pushed and coerced into hiring people of color.
But there came a point where, "okay, everyone knows it is illegal to discriminate based on skin color," and yet affirmative action persisted. It's a broken system now, because people are forced to hire based on demographics rather than skill and aptitude.
Things like skin color, gender and sexual orientation shouldn't even factor into the hiring/accepting process. It really should be totally based on merit. You can't call someone racist for choosing the best person for the job. If anything, it's racist to choose someone SPECIFICALLY because they are black.
Mindy Kaling's brother did a pretty cool social experiment on this, when he lied about being black to get into medical school. The market is saturated with Indian doctors, so he found it was easier to get in if he said he was black - even if he had mediocre grades and a sub par understanding of medical basics.

That alone should show you that hiring based on skin color is not the most efficient way to handle it.
Maybe not. I still think the concept in and of itself is flawed/outdated.AA as people envision it doesnt happens as much as people think it happens.
But it does.
Skin, sex, gender and culture matter, and we discriminate based on these factors. Don't tell me you don't, because you will expose yourself as a liar.
It is good to have laws to ensure that people of the wrong skin, sex, gender and culture are not targeted (consciously or subconsciously).
Of course, people of the right skin, sex, gender and culture will not like it. It is natural to want to hold on to an adventitious position. However, I don't believe having a couple of qualified people of the wrong skin, sex, gender or culture in high power positions is going to cause the collapse of Western civilization.
Just my opinion. LOL
Inshallah.I say we replace names on CVs with some sort of random ID. Also no asking about race. Also everyone wears a full body suit and mask to hide their skin colour.

you americans will bicker for the next 40 years about meaningless shit while china and india come to rule the world.
They shouldn't but they do. And that's why it's an issue.Employers shouldn't consider skin color when choosing a candidate. I don't care what Larry David says.

I'd rather just not consider orange or green.
All interviews should be given without knowing the color/sex of a person. That's my dream.
Do you think you can have your pick? a lot of time you cant tell the character of the individual, specially if by law you cant ask their former employer for references.
But the best person will be hired (ideally) so that's okBut if they do that the job field will be less diversified.
