This might very well be my last new draft for a little while, but I'd like to at least finish up the ones I've got up here. Though, last time I thought this, I went on a writing spree, so we'll see what happens.
I'm also aware this will need a lot of work (my rust is showing); I'd just like some feedback on the general premise and layout first.
Also Big Max is meant to be Bigtopia / Maxtopia in case you're wondering.
Title: Affirmation Bias
The Issue: Big Max Inc, a prominent minority-run business applauded for its diversity and help in giving well-paying jobs to the disadvantaged, has been thrust into public spotlight after several well-to-do were denied jobs on the grounds of being too @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@.
Validity: Capitalist; Moderate or High Inclusivity
Validity: No Affirmative Action
Option 1a: "This is blatant discrimination against the majority!" cries laid-off bank teller @@RANDOMNAME@@, having been denied a manager's position at Big Max. "And they call ME a bigot! If I - I mean, businesses - can't discriminate against minorities, then those commies shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against us."
[effect] those who're treated better than others no longer have to worry about losing that privilege
Validity: Affirmative Action
Option 1b: "This is blatant discrimination against the majority!" cries laid-off bank teller @@RANDOMNAME@@, having been denied a manager's position at Big Max. "And they call ME a bigot! If I - I mean, businesses - have to put up with a minority quota, then maybe it's time we have a complementary majority quota."
[effect] those who're treated better than others no longer have to worry about losing that privilege
Option 2: "It is our duty as a minority-oriented business to cater to our fellow minorities," drones @@RANDOMNAME@@, the big cheese of Big Max. "Even with all of the protective laws we have, we're still faced with more subtle workplace bias from the majority. If anything, you should let us openly advertise our selection process, and perhaps allow us to chose what customers we have as well."
[effect] the well-to-do truly are a minority
Validity: No Affirmative Action
Option 3a: "There's a compromise to be made, here," says your Minister of Meeting in the Middle, who you're almost certain is your Minister of Compromises in a different suit. "What if we instituted a workforce diversity quota for both minorities and the @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ majority that all workplaces have to meet? That way there's fair represented in all companies, including at Big Max. Sounds like the affirmative answer if you ask me."
[effect] businesses proudly flaunt their token majorities
Validity: Affirmative Action
Option 3b: "There's a compromise to be made, here," says your Minister of Meeting in the Middle, who you're almost certain is your Minister of Compromises in a different suit. "What if we discarded the practice of affirmative action? That way Big Max can continue to support minorities, while other companies can support the rest of @@NAME@@. A freer market with no discriminative quotas - sure sounds like the right answer if you ask me."
[effect] everyone is equally free to judge others as inferior
