I'm not sure if its still being used, but I remember learning in a HR subject at uni that the US had a program called affirmative action. If i remember correctly it was essentially a program that would place females in jobs that they were not necessarily the best person for. Is this correct and is this still the case. If so, isn't that simialr to what is going on above except just a different kind of entrenched discrimination?
Perhaps not?
