Affirmative action is a racist policy at its very core. No one anywhere can deny that if they have an ounce of intellect. Therefore, if a person is adversely affected by Affirmative Action, then they are almost certainly a white working class American.
If working class whites just took responsibility for their actions instead of whining about everyone else that is better off then them, they would be better off. Are they looking for affirmative action to save them now?

I'm pretty sure the Personal Responsibility Quotient is in pretty good shape in white America compared to major minority groups. If you'd like to engage in a statistics war, I'll be more than happy to oblige. You in?
"As of 2010, white families, on average, earned about $2 for every $1 that black and Hispanic families earned, a ratio that has remained roughly constant for the last 30 years.
By the most recent data, the average white family had about $632,000 in wealth, versus $98,000 for black families and $110,000 for Hispanic families." The recession hit black and Hispanic families harder than whites.
So, there obviously is an advantage to being born white in this country.
white men. I dare you to name another minority with no minority status. I dare you to name another instance where a minority was considered a majority, and punished because of it.
why do you think whites are making so much more when so many laws exists making sure that doesn't happen? could it be because they are doing different jobs? are you saying that whites don't deserve that wealth? maybe blacks and hispanics should start saving more money for the future, and their "wealth" would go up. also, aren't hispanics considered white by the census bureau?

I would love to see your Personal Responsibility Quotent numbers and index by race, including those numbers that went into it.
Which statistic would you like to start with? Wedlock? High school dropouts? Prison population? Crime statistics? Abortions? Unemployment?
Now would probably be a good time for you to digress.
As you stated here, the Personal Responsibility Quotient.

White people are not a minority in this country; they represent 72 % of the population. It's hard to be a minority when you ARE the over-whelming majority and when in general you earn $2 for every $1 the real minorities earn.
White men as a group also earn about 77 % more than white women.
So white men are not a minority group by any stretch of the imagination.
