David Re...If someone can develop a form of AA that doesn't discriminate against whites, I'll support it wholeheartedly.

That I agree upon. Why not, instead of working on holding everybody back to the level of the minorities, why not work on improving the scores of the minorities, with head start, improving the value of the family in poor neighborhoods, lower teen age pregnancies, stress education , get rid of drugs and crime etc. All of these things need to be done long before the child gets in college. Then it is too late.

Forget that, you whites already have it made!

Just kidding. But it should be telling when some minorities are look upon suspiciously by colleagues who wonder whether they got there on their own merit or not. "Oh, look at that new black guy over there. He couldn't have possibly made it without quotas from H.R."

If someone can develop a form of AA that doesn't discriminate against whites, I'll support it wholeheartedly. In the meantime, it is just one more variation on a despicable act. It does, however, seem worse, when it is institutionalized; at least when individuals are at fault, you can place blame.

That's impossible to do.....its the same as developing racism that doesn't prevent minorities from getting ahead.
