I disagree- I know. <g> Making the discrimination a little more fair to all, in terms of race, doesn't jeopardize anything, but the pride of certain people who secretly think that their race rules. I don't think that's so. Yes, the meritocracy is full of holes, but it's still the official framework and most people believe in it even as they wiggle around it. Affirmative action officially dumps it. I'm not prepared to do that. There will always be unfairness. I don't need to sanction it. Over time, people of color will have more of the benefits of money and beauty and nepotism and the rest, too. If we pull the rug out from under the ideal of meritocracy before they get a chance, it doesn't do them or the rest of us any good.
