Affirmative Action President (view source)
Revision as of 16:17, January 25, 2008
, 16:17, January 25, 2008a start
An '''Affirmative Action President''' is someone selected for that office based partly or entirely on the person's race or gender. As of 2008, [[affirmative action]] has not yet been successfully used to fill the position of President of the [[United States]].
An '''Affirmative Action President''' is strongly supported by some [[liberals]] who favor [[affirmative action]]. As they support [[affirmative action]] for other positions, it is a logical extension for them to favor it for the presidency also.
These supporters of an '''Affirmative Action President''' are likely to support a candidate based in part on the candidate's race or gender in order to bring historical [[diversity]] to the position and promote broader acceptance of [[affirmative action]].
Under [[affirmative action]], a candidate's race or gender is as important as traditional criteria of qualifications and experience.
