Ted, > This moves you to anger but the fact that Asians make less money then their white counterparts only disappoints you?

I'm upset at fake solutions to real problems. The "good old boy" network really can't help being who they are. It's up to us to lift ourselves beyond that point. We can't depend on handouts from said "good old boy" network, whether it be in the form of welfare or affirmative action.

Personally, I see affirmative action as a borderline conspiracy to just placate those minorities and give token lip service to their problems. Diversity just for the sake of diversity might work well for television where image is everything, but it's a false sense of security to those who believe in it, and it will only increase the demand for handouts.

But don't take my word for it. Look at the black firefighter who tried to get $2.7M for "racial harassment." You don't think he's trying to take advantage of the whole politically correct movement?
