Sensitive, aren't we that you have to result to something personal? Or did that quote strike a chord?

The fact is whites tend to have higher salaries so when a company needs to trim their budget, who do you think they look at? The higher paid guys? They tend to get cut and blame affirmative action. Sure they are exceptions when reverse discrimination happens, but ask yourself, how often does this happen? Heck, I'll let one of you anti-affirmative action people come up with these facts to prove me wrong.

The question you ask is absurd. The most qualified person tend to be the one asking for the most money. Companies hire the most qualified person for the job within their price range so that person they end up hiring isn't "the most qualified."
