Affirmative Action Banned!

My state (Michigan) has wisely followed in the foosteps of California and banned racist/sexist affirmative action programs in Michigan, that would have discriminated against people based on nothing but their gender or the color of their skin, all in the name of promoting equality.  

It passed by a pretty wide margin 58% - 42% of the vote.. or, another way of looking at it: 

2,137,574  ---  YES on stopping AA
1,552,459  ---  NO on stopping AA

Hopefully this'll spread like wildfire throughout the rest of the states. 

I'm of Irish and Native American background, and in my opinion, Affirmative Action is bullshit.  I don't want people to give me a job because of my family, I want to get the job because I'm the most qualified applicant for the position.  Think of it like this:   Would you rather be the token, or would you rather be the person who contributed.
