"Positive discrimination" is most definitely not Affirmative Action." Thata sounds like a definition created by someone who has an anti-justice agenda. Have you read Executive Order 11246? Please look at it closely. You'll see that it not only applies to efforts to seek beyond the usual suspects by "race," but also by gender. White women have been the main beneficiaries of Affirmative Action, but people who are fixated on "race" tend either to ignore or to forget it.
