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.

Disparities of the many outweigh the disparities of the few. Why exactly to do you think it's perfectly acceptable for any company not to hire to someone based on the color of their skin? Outside of the supposed "Anti-Libertarian" implications of AA, I'm having a hard time understanding what's Ethically right about denying someone a job based on skin color or anything other than merit.
