It seems like you are against quotas and lowering standards. I think almost all people are against that. What about when a company or school reaches out and makes an extra effort to find qualified people?
What about when government has jobs available, and lets say almost everyone meets the qualifications (like holding a sign in a construction zone), why not make sure those jobs are allocated in a manner reflective of the population?
In our public university system, given tax payer subsidy, and given a pool of people who meet the admission requirements, why shouldn't the public university give consideration to having a student body representative of the community from that pool of qualified people?
If you say 'best qualified', would you agree that Universities in the US supported by US tax payer should give preference to US citizens regardless 'best qualified' status? Or, would you have a US system of universities supported by US tax payers filled with people from other countries? Before you respond, I think people who go to universities should pay the real cost, no government subsidies. And, then let all the private institutions do what they want.
