Many people look at whites who complain about Affirmative Action (AA) being reverse discrimination as being closet racists. While I understand those views, as someone who has studied AA in college that simply is not true. I truly believe that there is no difference between myself and a minority (yes I am a white male) be that a minority sex or race. If somone is the more qualified applicant they should get the job be they white, black, yellow, red, with a penis, or without a penis. The quota system is bullshit! Whether it requires a certain number of ehtnic minorities or sexual minorities. Why should it matter if my parents/grandparents were prejudiced against you/your parents/your grandparents? I know in the past some ignorant people were racist and that it created a bigoted and unfair society and I am truly sorry about that. But how is creating a new society based on bigoted and unfair practices (AA) going to right the wrongs of the past? How is a ‘United Negroes College Fund’ going to help us as a society when a ‘United White Man’s College Fund’ would be branded as racist and unfair? How is the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) okay, but if i started a new NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Caucasion People) it would be branded as racist? What are we teaching are children if we tell them that as a minority (be it ethnic or sexual) they need special stipulations to succeed? Doesn’t our current situation tell our children that if they are an ethnic minority or a woman that in order to succeed they need special circumstances? That is (pardon my vulgarity) BULLSHIT!!!
