Sex should only matter in the bedroom

Affirmative action claims to give women and minorities an opportunity to things such as acceptance to college, and the police force without race or gender discrimination. The fact that race and gender is taken into consideration at all is discriminatory. Acceptance should be based on merit, and that's all. I want to be judged by the same standards as men, THAT is what will give me an equal, non-discriminatory opportunity. If a male deserves to be at American University more than I do, then I accept that. Affirmative action helps women and minorities just as much as inflated GPAs in high school does for students once they get to college. I don't appreciate the "special treatment," I'd rather earn my place. Judge me as a PERSON, not just a woman. I have just as much to offer.
A better solution to the problem would be eliminating the questions on resumes and applications that inquire about race and gender. People can be accepted according to what they have to offer, and not what sex they are. Obviously this information will be necessary to the institutions , but they could ask for it after determining who deserves to be there.
