Affirmative Action doesn't do that--the people doing the hiring might do that, if they don't want to bother to find a minority/female/disabled person who is qualified. It's really not that difficult, either.

Plus, the NON-minorities/etc. that are hired are not necessarily all qualified, either.

Agreed. Though overall, it sure wouldn't hurt if, say, all public schools had all the resources they needed.
