And while white males complain a great deal about the law, they have rarely had its effects impede their progress That isn't true. And who can measure the law's impact on aspects of our life......like the welfare rolls and getting those costs reduced Very minor in terms of welfare rolls. Most of the benefit is from people well above the welfare level, moving to a slightly higher level. In the meantime you entrench formal discrimination and racial distinctions, in some cases violate peoples freedom of association, and move away from the principal of hiring the best person for the job; while also casting some doubt on the abilities of some successful minorities, often unfairly but fair or not it creates a bad environment.

Ted, <A.A. levels the playing field so that the competition is fairer.> No it doesn't. A policy that favors one minority over another is bad policy, period. But I'm sure we Asians don't deserve everything we've worked for. After all, we're just white people with squinty eyes and straight black hair. We must be part of the Good Ole Boy network. Of all the things I've disagreed with in the past, this is the one point I most VEHEMENTLY disagree with. Tenchusatsu
