Otherwise these schools and businesses lose funding.

I feel that minorities bitch and moan that things aren't "fair" and that white people are constantly pointing out their race. But then later use their race as an advantage.

Either your in or your out. Pick a side people.

(And I must point out that if a minority is indeed more superior for a job (which many are) they obviously should get it over someone who doesn't, whether they be white, black, brown, whatever.)

I totally agree with this post although I believe affirmative action should have never been put in place in the first place. I am also in a position where I do all the hiring and firing for my shift and its no easy job, especially when you get to know people personally and there families. Now I just try and keep my distance and never get to close to our employees.
