That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So when I'm turned away for a job because they hired a less qualified minority, it's ok because my wife got a job? I worked hard to get to where I'm at, and the best man or woman for the job should get hired. No bonus points for being black/female/hispanic etc. Anything besides that is racist/sexist etc, plain and simple.
I can't change the past injustices people may or may not have suffered... but two wrongs don't make a right.
