Wikipedia的开头写：
Affirmative action, also known as reservation in India and Nepal, positive action in the UK, and employment equity(in a narrower context) in Canada and South Africa, is the policy of protecting members of groups that are known to have previously suffered from discrimination.
其实呢，历史是这样的：
The term "affirmative action" was first used in the United States in "Executive Order No. 10925",[9] signed by President John F. Kennedy on 6 March 1961, which included a provision that government contractors "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."
也就是AA的原意是雇员的雇佣和待遇应该与种族，信仰，肤色，或原国籍无关。
Wikipedia的开头是一种引申（没有问题）。而左派将引申的“避免歧视”歪曲成“种族配额”。于是就理所当然地歧视某些种族中的优秀人才。
