I dont know why peoplehate meritocracy but i can say one thing for sure that communities/orgs dont encourage meritocracy go down the drain.
I look for the best surgeon not someone with some race to do a surgery on me.

I believe it can result in hiveminds of similar people, since meritocracy is so focused on measuring and comparing based on a limited set of criteria. Over the long run, narrow groups of similar people do not make an innovative society.
most arguments i see for affirmative action are on the face not logically consistent. but it feels more like the type of policy where people choose what action they want ahead of time and then desperately scramble for any justifications possible.
