using the Utilitarian Ethical theory support my decision with the following information and question

for over $200$ years, white males have been the most powerful group in the US$.$ Through economic exclusions enforced by laws and reinforced by deep cultural attitudes $,$there has existed, in effect, a preferential hiring program for white males. In light of that historical reality and the dynamics that remain in our culture, evaluate the strategy of affirmative action for women and minorities to bring out more fairness in hiring and promotion practices. Draw heavily from Moral Issues in Business by Shaw and Barry pg $493-607$ and the following articles, "Why more companies are coming out of the political closet", "After Alies and Cosby, a moment for more women to speak up$",$ "Hollywood screenwritewrs face thier own "Oscars so white" drama"
