Gotta go, so not much time to post, BUT, i do firmly believe reverse discrimination is far more abundant and abusive in todays society than the 'normal' racism. I have known far too many minorities get places in colleges, etc simply because that institution needed to fulfill a racial blending quota.

Another observation. While not really discrimination or racism, ever find a scholorship out there for simply being white? Back when i was going to do the whole college ap thing, there were more than a few scholarships being offered simply for being a minority. I've got a little American Indian in me, so on one of the standardized tests i had to take, i put that as my ethnic affiliation. Youd be amazed how much more people are interested in you if your not white.

I think equal opportunity needs to become just that - EQUAL. Not slightly more equal if you've been 'oppressed' opportunity, or "you've had it equal for long enough" opportunity.
