otherwise. That alone would be a valuable asset in the business world, where people would regularly have to interact with coworkers, clients, or customers of different backgrounds. However, there are many kinds of diversity not related to race that should also be accounted for, such as economic diversity, religious diversity, etc.In the end, affirmative action should be dissolved because the same things could be accomplished with policies not based on race and because it pushes a racist stigma that could end up being harmful to the minorities it is trying to aid. In place of race-based procedures, methods that look into economic or financial factors should be implemented. By looking at the statistics, it is easy to see that just by doing this, more minority groups would be accepted as a result and it would ensure economic diversity throughout the school or workplace. Instead of trying to exterminate racism by giving minorities an advantage over Caucasians, society should focus on dissolving racism at the root and teaching people not to think that way in the first place.
