I never though of that. Excellent job.

And it has created a new "class" of racists, those who feel they've been personally victimized by minorities who were preferred over them for employment - regardless of the actual reason for it.

Oh, God am I getting tired of the "victimized white folk" trend that's been creeping into public conscience in recent years. That has got to be the most pathetic argument yet. The same people who claim to be outraged at those who accuse THEM of racism (All too often rightfully so, and you know it.) accusing others of "reverse racism". Maybe it's just Karma coming back around, asshole?

Let me stop there, 'cuz I'm getting wound up.
