Open Thread till New Years

I'm off to Florida. Here's your open thread/ discussion topic (and I expect to see at least 9 posts when I come back.)

Someone (and I suspect I know who it is) suggested "affirmative action" vs. "diversity" as a discussion topic. Pros? Cons? Does Affirmative action work in promoting diversity? (I think it does, as I doubt I'd have Nigerian and Peruvian professors) Does Affirmative Action discriminate? How? Against who? Should we scrap it? How could historical wrongs be made right?

Please google all your facts, if you supply evidence. And no flame wars. And please, keep the liberal vs. conservative debate out. . . or use another open thread I've provided.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
