As a more diverse America come ups the time is ripe to scrap affirmative action, according to a March 15 editorial in The Economist. The London-based weekly weighs in forward the issue in the wake of recently made known census data that show this political division "in the grip of a demographic revolution." The magazine adds, "The of long date black-and-white America that produced the tragedy of black oppression and the glory of the civil rights change is giving way to a more complicated country-in which brown are as numerous as blacks." Affirmative action becomes meaningless and impractical, the editorial asserts, "mutating into a prodigy that perpetrates the very point in disputes that it was designed to solve"
