Affirmative Action

Samri and Sam discuss race-based affirmative action from the perspective of an Ethiopian/Jamaican American and Vietnamese American perspective. According to Wikipedia, "In the United States, affirmative action is "intended to end and correct the effects of a specific form of discrimination".[1] It includes government-mandated, government-approved, and voluntary private programs. The programs tend to focus on access to education and employment, granting special consideration to historically excluded groups, specifically racial minorities or women." ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_the_United_States#:~:text=Nine%20states%20in%20the%20United,%2C%20and%20Idaho%20(2020).
