It certainly does.
I hope you enjoy your four free credits...
And I'll answer your silly ass hypothetical question; I wouldn't be afraid at all to be another race. Why: because, again, I am willing to work to better myself, just as I have.
Being a woman; no. First, I happen to enjoy pissing standing up. Secondly, and probably more importantly, most women have a total different value system, in that they value children and family over all. In simple terms, they will sacrifice their careers to raise kids. Most men won't.
Lastly, I work in the construction industry, and in case you may not have noticed, the only sector that has been decent for the last 3-4 years has been federal work. I have been lucky, some of my fellow WHITE co-workers haven't been as lucky.
And I don't see any retort for my statement that these underprivileged are given enough already...
Keep going, I just whipped out the Jim Beam...

I have to wait until after the conference with a Taiwan supplier before I hit the Jamesons. I have enough credits and degrees now, thanks. Curious, by what measure do you judge that the underprivileged are given enough? Here's another hypothetical: if all preferential programs were ended overnight, do you think that the proportion of races and sexes in any pariticular desirable state (college, trades, etc.) would reflect the population as a whole?Originally Posted by <MADDOG>

Yeah....and you're psychic, right? That's how you can give a blanket statement such as the bolded text. Just like you can assure everyone that women are "granted" Affirmative Action, and therefore, the problems they've had are all taken care of. Yup. You've said it, so it must be so.
Only it's really not.
<p>
Why is that? Because they are biologically created to prefer sacrificing their careers for family? Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the social world we live in. Nothing you are stating is biologically inherent.</p>
Dont put words in my mouth jack ass. I didn't say I'd trade. I've worked for every freakin thing I have, missed out on opportunities because the second choice was not white. But here I am, unapologetically white.
When was the last time a government contract or an hr director or corporation openly sought out white men? Never. I'm done with this conversation.
Where do I start?
If I'm a bad guy for being politically incorrect for speaking my mind, so be it.
Rucker- I hope you enjoy your Jamesons. I challenge you to provide me facts that they are not given enough already, as obviously you are an advocate of doing more. To address your second hypothetical; based on my experience; the answer is yes. Those who truly wish to rise above and excel in life find ways.
For Grey and Jack: notice I state MOST woman; not all. I have seen very career oriented women in my years of graying, but they are the exception, not the rule. Is it a social stigma? Perhaps, but I'm not an anthropology major, so I can't say for sure. Glass ceilings-definitely. Biologically inherent; I think so; men can't give birth or nor nurse.

Sorry, don't think I've advocated one way or the other here. I can't give you facts on whether they have enough without some way to measure. How would you say that we could objectively measure what "enough" is?

I can trace my lineage to Spain, so I put "Hispanic" on my college apps and I'm pretty sure that gave me a lot more leverage getting in to the few places I did.
