Talk:Affirmative Action Around the World

Early comments

This article, to me, is not suited to an encyclopedia format. It does not read like an impartial review of the book, but a platform for launching an attack on affirmative action. Furthermore there was one piece of bare-faced racism in it which I removed, which stated that groups targeted for AA were disadvantaged because of their own inadequacy, as opposed to other groups who outperform them without needing privileges.

There are no "black millionares" in this area. Who are the "black millionaires," anyway. Please supply their names. Superslum 06:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

This entire article is redundant to information in the Wikipedia article on Affirmative Action. soverman 03:09 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

There are plenty of black millionaires. Duh. What I came on here to write, though, was that the 5 points listed on the article are at times word-for-word from the Sowell's book "net losses for society as a whole", etc. While I think that sums it up nicely and I like how it is worded, I would rather attribute the words to Sowell, not the reviewer.
