If you're picking one race/sex over another because you favor it, you're still being discrimative, but just against the opposite of what you choose.

Ok  posotive disscrimination is Discrimination in favour of individuals belonging to a group considered to be disadvantaged or underprivileged.

an example will be when two equal qualafied person one male and the other female. the job is granted to the female because she is female. The same if one man was white and the other black.

Now do you support this.

positive discrimination????

since when was discrimination, POSITIVE???
