Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action - Affirmative action is a program that aaims to equalize opportunities provided for the public for certain races. However, Brodkin describes in How The Jews Became White that affirmative action was used in the GI Bill on p. 44. She says the bill was aimed at helping Euro-origin males, including Jews, returning from the war into developing careers and advancing their education by providing them opportunities. Blacks and other races were denied because they weren't white.
