Summary: 



Assume, just for the sake of argument that you are male and the person
in question is a member of the class/race that benefits from
AA and they get the job and you don't.  That discrimination is
going to affect your ability to buy the home of your *individual*
choice, to send your kids to the school of your *individual* choice,
etc., etc....

_You_ may have been discriminated against.  That doesn't mean that
now, discrimination is good, as long as *you* benefit.

I belong to the group that gets taken from it whatever goes
to the beneficiaries of AA.   Now tell me again how much I should
enjoy helping a less qualified person than myself get the job I was
after, by helping to support such a sexist/racist policy as AA.

I highly doubt that Time Inc. they would make me their spokesperson.
