Would it be ethical to overlook the disadvantages that racism and sexism have imposed on millions of Americans when some kind of affirmative action might well give those Americans the boost they need to achieve their full potential? Then again, would it be ethical to force people who have not suffered those disadvantages to lose opportunities in the name of social justice?
