Yeah. You mad. If Obama gave that reason you'd be slurping it up off his plate begging for more. Wouldn't you? You sick thing.

I'm going to assume you've been drinking.

If this means I can now get free rides into Universities solely because of my white skin color then heck ya I'm for it. If that means I can get a job over more qualified black and Mexican because I'm white, then YES!
But something tells me those things still won't be afforded to me even after the racial shift. =(

I'm looking forward to seeing scholarships from the NAAWP. It's going to make some left-leaning brains explode.

In your eyes Obama can do no wrong, am I right?

And Patrick, another NON-American, are you telling me minorities don't get free scholarships to boost minority enrollment is colleges? And are you telling me the story in New Haven didn't happen when black fireman got a promotion over other white firemen who actually scored better on their test JUST because their skin color was darker?
Well, the white firemen sued the city and won, so let's see you justify otherwise.


Sorry Dodge but your take on affirmative action is really missing lots of things like oh facts and objectivity. Laughing

It's ok however, it is not an uncommon position.

Privileged white people with college degrees, complaining about minorities negatively influencing their professional prospects, is farcical theater. All of you white people with college degrees have the ability to go to almost any country in the world and get a job, simply teaching your native language. Rough life, huh? The setup in your own country is also biased in your favor, that to gripe about any losses you may incur regarding job prospects, leaves you indistinguishably out of touch, or personally incompetent. And that's likely why some of you are here indefinitely: The disgruntled, certified teachers who got let off a while back. Who blame ____.

You, as a white male, have disproportionate advantages in generally every circumstance you will ever encounter. It doesn't matter what country you are residing in, you will be fine, and if not, you can always move on, or upgrade yourself easier than most other people.

US-specific, you white people with college degrees will NEVER have anything to worry about, especially comparing your situation with the marginalized people some of you are blaming. Employment opportunities will always be largely in your favor for as long as you live, unless you're an idiot. Now, I'm from Texas, I know the deal, but this fake white victim garbage spews from a place that overlaps the real meaning of the issues some of you are ostensibly using as an excuse.

This is simply not true. Go live in Asia and see how many "disproportionate advantages" you have. Or any non-White country for that matter. Sure, if you're transferred over working for Goldman-Sachs or something, but otherwise you will be at a relative disadvantage (and without a degree you wouldn't even be allowed to stay). And you certainly would not get any freebies from other countries' governments (nor should you, really).

This is bang on. I could not agree more.
