I'm sorry, but the last thing we need on Wikipedia is affirmative action.
To equate a concern over the fact that there is an imbalance in the representation of various groups on Wikipedia with "affirmative action," a term so broad as to have minimal meaning beyond the pejorative, is unnecessary, and serves largely to stifle legitimate discussion and concern.
Is there a specific proposal or course of action on the table that you object to? Or are you throwing heated terms into the debate for the fun of it?
