People should be judged by their capabilities, skills, personal situation, not by race, gender or other group belonging.
We live in Eastern Europe, where even if this things are pushed by some politicians and some media, they still aren't a policy. Anyway, I feel that in most of the Europe there is a backlash against "identity politics", people got enough of it.
Discrimination is also inevitable, because we are human, and we are biased. Affirmative action is attempting to resolve the perception that some groups have more bias against them, consistently, due to historical impact.
Also more complex: ignoring discrimination, even if implicit, creates an environment where our natural human impulses (tribalism/bias) flourish.

Discrimination is bad, no matter how is done.
