Abstract
In Part I, this Note examines the effects of discrimination in the marketplace to suggest a connection between current racial disparities" and past "no-fault" discrimination. Part II demonstrates why race-neutral policies are likely to prove ineffective for reducing these disparities. Finally, Part III argues that competitive, race-conscious affirmative action is unlikely to create a "moral hazard" and that the burden placed on nonminorities by such a program is justifiable.
