Are you racist?

I think the concept behind affirmative action is a good one - that is to make sure that in your recruiting/outreach/bidding, you look to a broader more diverse pool of candidates rather than narrowly focus on one community (that has no basis on the thing you're recruiting for)

However, I think the attempt to montior and measure these programs often has disasterous effects for the programs themselves - you get what you measure.
