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.

Excellent points.

Still want to quit?
