To equate a concern over the fact that there is an imbalance in the
representation of various groups on Wikipedia with "affirmative
action," a term so broad as to have minimal meaning beyond the
pejorative, is unnecessary, and serves largely to stifle legitimate
discussion and concern.
Is there a specific proposal or course of action on the table that
you object to? Or are you throwing heated terms into the debate for
the fun of it?
