affirmative action as implemented requires percentage targets (based on statistical models of the overall population) based on race/gender/etc.

If you don’t get enough candidates, or the candidates you do get don’t happen to exactly align quality wise on whatever other criteria you are using, of the right race, gender, etc. what do you think actually happens?
