That's not at all what affirmative action is or means.
In fact, it's literally the opposite, the goal is to make sure someone is not passed over from being hired or promoted because they're a person of color when they are indeed the most qualified candidate.
If you squint real hard and spin it around you might be able to argue that if we're talking about filling quotas for a university or something like that. Thinking affirmative action is something that takes opportunities away from what people is just plain wrong.

Why would you need to force a business to hire the most competent person for a job?
