I'm very happy we don't have a policy like this my way... at least not yet.

If I have to be saved from a burning building, while I am choking on ash, and my back is beginning to melt, the last thing that will be on my mind will be 'affirmative action' .

Plus, I have no problem with promoting diversity, but this involves the safety of citizens; the best candidates might be left out, and that could mean the difference between saving a life, and losing it. Is the guy who was picked solely on race going to spend the extra minute in a firefight, and risk his own hide to save another, or will he bow out?

Some people will also be miffed about women being recruited, but I will admit that the girls are more than capable of doing the job. However, once again, hiring purely on sex is discriminatory.

When I was a young'un, I was taught about Equality: that everyone has an equal opportunity, and their skin, race, and sex have no bearing. I subscribe to that idea, but this policy flies right in the face of Equality.

This is exactly what happens when our society becomes too politically correct. Luckily for me, being 'PC' is not on my agenda, and although I've been called a racist, a sexist, and a 'misogynistic pig' plenty of times in my life, I will continue to point out the PC bullshit that is neutering our society.
