That is the very thing that affirmative action, the race card, the Jesse Jacksons of the world... have stifled.
Historically, there was always somebody new to hate. And when that someone showed up, the previous hated became accepted. Irish, Italians, Chinese, etc.
But affirmative action solidifies that position. No more of a new group displacing the old. New groups just get added.
I'm one who is more comfortable with the boys up on West 106th Street than I am with rednecks in Georgia... but I'm living in Thailand, and making my own way on my own accord, regardless of discrimination (and it's here, just like it's there...but I don't want affirmative action in any manner, not for me or my daughter). We make it on our own terms. And that just earns that much more respect.
