Saying that "all liberals" whine about racial profiling, while seemingly accurate, uses the extreme word "all" and is such probably not a strictly correct claim. I reworded.
Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Affirmative action''' means giving someone a preference or advantage based on the color of his skin, or gender, to reverse the effects of [[discrimination]]  and often for political motivation. [[Quotas]] are an extreme form of '''affirmative action'''. All [[liberal]]s whine about how bad [[racial profiling]] is, which is no different than Affirmative Action.

Though [[liberal]]s whine about how bad [[racial profiling]] is, they promote affirmative action, which is essentially the same thing as racial profiling.
    
The original concept of affirmative action, when introduced by the [[President Johnson|Johnson]] administration, was that it is desirable to not merely act on non-discrimination passively (i.e., saying "this job is open to any applicant", but then making no efforts to find minority applicants), but should also be done actively, by taking definite actions to find applicants from minorities.
