This is what affirmative action should be... helping people out based on their individual situation, not because their skin color or gender.

Affirmative action was to address systemic inequalities, not individual ones. Bringing it up in an article about foster kids and then further including the bit about gender feels like flamebait.

Ironically affirmative action is systemic racism itself, no matter how well intentioned.

Compensation needs to happen on the same criteria as the prejudice.

If you stiffed a whole generation matching X criteria, you should give reparation to people matching the same X criteria, whatever that criteria is.
