Do I have to copy paste more CONTEXT?
In its tumultuous 48-year history, affirmative action has been both praised and pilloried as an answer to racial inequality. The term "affirmative action" was first introduced by President Kennedy in 1961 as a method of redressing discrimination that had persisted in spite of civil rights laws and constitutional guarantees. It was developed and enforced for the first time by President Johnson. "This is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights," Johnson asserted. "We seek… not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result."
A Temporary Measure to Level the Playing Field
Focusing in particular on education and jobs, affirmative action policies required that active measures be taken to ensure that blacks and other minorities enjoyed the same opportunities for promotions, salary increases, career advancement, school admissions, scholarships, and financial aid that had been the nearly exclusive province of whites. From the outset, affirmative action was envisioned as a temporary remedy that would end once there was a "level playing field" for all Americans.

I would really appreciate it if you could indicate to a rookie like me why it is "too late"? and late for whom?
I thought this was a forum for discussion, feedback and mutual help, or am I just assuming?

I agree that context is essential in translation but not all terms need context. The case of affirmative action is deeply rooted in the lexicon of American politics and beyond.
Nonetheless, here is a context for the term:
