KC Sig RC made a really good point earlier in regards to the PURPOSE of AA within the working community (I hope you don't get lumped into "our" group by me pointing this out ). Anway he said :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's to make sure that employers look toward the equally-competent minorities, and try to ensure they don't get passed up just due to race.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is all minorities (which includes white women) want is a chance, fair consideration. I honestly believe that if everyone would put their personal experiences aside, and look at the BIG SCHEME of things, this has not been the case. My guess is that maybe if we contact all of the companies listed on the Fortune 500 (and state universities/colleges) to request this statistical data, this will help some of us to "open our eyes".
