affirmative mediocracy

So our government deemed it necessary to start a program for blacks called affirmative action, we all know what it is or have at least heard of it. Basically its a type of "head start" program for those who were not given a "fair chance" due to past "racism".
If you are black living in America you get government "set asides" based soley on your race, favoritism basically. It doesn't end there, you get extra points on entry level job exams; any type of city job, postal service, firemen, police, or e.m.t. and union labor. It also affects promotions in said jobs. Also S.A.T's or any other entry level college exams MCATS, or LSAT's or what have you.

I do know that the people more fit for those positions and those promotions aren't getting the job because racial quotas need to be filled. You can be in support of affirmative action all you want, but just wait till you call for rescue because your house is on fire, your daughter is in need of an ambulance or your a victim of a home invasion and they send an unqualified, "quota-filling" person on the job.

The thing is, don't you think that that generation has moved on? I think affirmative action and other racially based government support groups should be ended.
This was a program to help blacks rise above PAST racism. But today, if they want us to believe race is irrelevant, why do they ask the race question on S.A.T.'s? Why are NEW non-white immigrants reaping these biased benefits ?
why doesn't anyone question these things?
