[ACC25050]

As one of those brown people who (in addition to whites) you worry are not getting jobs because of blacks, let me say that I don’t feel that to be the case. Institutional racism such as the old boy networks and hiring practices keep us from getting jobs, not blacks seeking protection from discrimination. We face many of the same issues as blacks, and while there is prejudice against blacks among many Latinos, I don’t want anyone using us as an excuse for employment anti-discrimination laws to end. After all, the law protects brown people as much as blacks, and guess what? The law protects whites against discrimination, too. Don’t you know about the Bakke ‘reverse discrimination’ case? The idea that whites lose a lot of jobs to affirmative action is largely a myth. The actual cases of that happening are rare and highlighted by resentful whites way out of proportion to their actual numbers. Incidentally, did you see the Sixty Minutes piece on a “Whites Only” scholarship in a Southern state at a historically black college?
