White male here, and I just find these types of arguments unbelievable. I have a very close friend( a guy I have know almost my whole life) who is black and he had run into more roadblocks in his first thiry-three years than I will ever in my whole life.
You know, my wife is a blonde with blue eyes and she got a ton of college loans and grants. I work with a group that gives scholarships to a state university, and we do it on merit. I honestly think the concept of "if your ancestors were oppressed you got it made" is a bunch of crap.
How many of you who feel blacks or hispanics or women are getting a better deal, would be willing to change places?
