Affirmative action is supposed to ensure equal rights in several places. For example: to ensure African Americans are not discriminated against when applying for colleges they are given extra "points" for being of this race. These points are considered when deciding who may attend the college. The affirmative action is controversial because some say by giving certain races extra points it is discriminatory towards Caucasians.
