No. Would you like to know why? b/c he wasn't black, hispanic, or female. It worked out in his advantage though because he now has a higher paying job in the suburbs, but still his dream was taken away from him because he was a white male.

I'm somewhat lost on this logic, maybe you can help me out.
It was his dream to be a Dallas firefighter or just a firefighter in general? In my experience most just dream of being the firefighter and it doesn't matter where as long as they become one.
Now he has a higher paying job in the burbs so in a sense didn't this "example of AA" work in favor of your husband?
