White Affirmative Action?
"'If I had only been black I would have gotten into my first-choice college.'"
"The ability to believe that being black would have made no difference (other than a beneficial one when it came time for college), and that being white has made no positive difference, is rooted in privilege itself: the privilege that allows one to not have to think about race on a daily basis... to not have to worry about being viewed as a 'out of place' when driving, shopping, buying a home, or for that matter, attending the University of Michigan."
From this great article, which chronicles a history of racial preferences for whites that basically created the whole racial inequity problem that we are facing today. Take that, Dubya!.
