[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76853314, member: 302807"] Well...there's that nuanced argument. Sometimes it's mere prejudice....sometimes it's systemic oppression. I'm not used to having to consider there's an entire party of racists who would enact policies to deny white children job opportunities, education opportunities, etc. If you'd have asked me ten years ago that people would literally adopt the exact same beliefs about how "black people work harder than whites" that southern plantation slave masters used to justify slavery....I'd have said no way. Apparently I greatly over estimated some people. Before you go....if you'd be ever so kind as to answer one question....since I answered all of yours, sometimes repeatedly.... You mentioned that you were against affirmative action....and I wouldn't have guessed that based on our conversations. Why? I don't think it's necessarily a bad policy...perhaps with some fine-tuning it can be improved. It's played a significant role in the creation of a larger black and latino middle class since the 80s. I'm aware of the downsides....but I'm curious why you would be against it? [/QUOTE]
