I oppose it now... but there clearly was a case for it in the '60's.

Unequivocally oppose. It is clearly discrimination to me, just of a different kind depending upon the AA mission statement.

Strongly oppose -it may have served a useful purpose in integration efforts during the late 1960s and 1970s, but it does no longer.

Somewhere between support, depends, and don't care, but clearly closest to support.

It initially had its advantages, and still probably does in significantly reduced amounts, but the inherent racism of it significantly exceeds its value today.

I firmly oppose race- and class-based affirmative action.

I strongly oppose it.

And I have great resentment from anyone (ie:UMASS AMHERST) that says if you oppose affrimative action, them you are a racist.

I'll add that in some circumstances it's needed, but would look to end it.

Obviously opposed... personally I think the justices that upheld Ann Arbor's anti-white policies earned a nice trip to the gallows, but tragically for America they instead get to poison American law for years to come.

I'm for it, though I think massive redistribution through government programs, unionization, free education and health care, and a generous welfare state for all working class persons - and special reparations for blacks - paid for by taxes upon the owning class are even more important policies to implement.

Workplace-strongly oppose
Education-somewhat support to bring diversity onto campus but not to the extreme levels that it is today
