There was a point in time when affirmative action was necessary, but I think that the time for it has come and gone. Diversity is great if it occurs naturally.

I agree completely. It actually cheapens the very real accomplishments of minorities as some people will assume incorrectly that they received their position in life via affirmative action. If I were a successful black man, affirmative action would piss me off. -FU, I don't need your "helping hand", I'll succeed in spite of you.
