And again, Corbin, I ask: what "reverse discrimination" are blacks in positions of power perpetuating on whites? The "quota" situation you cited usually relies on some hiring manager, who, more often than not, isn't black. I'd love to know how these supposedly more qualified whites find out that they were A.) more qualified in the first place; B.) denied a job because it went to the less qualified candidate. Unless the hiring manager is telling them this, I think it's a pretty prejudiced opinion to assume that the black/Latino/a/ person was less qualified.

Again, I say there ARE white people that aren't allowed in some chapters of "BGLO's" Even though it is not their national policy, it happens. This happens the same way with white people keeping other ethnicities out of their clubs, restaurants, golf courses, and what have you. Just because technically these "BGLO's" allow white people, doesn't mean they always let them in, even if they completely meet all of the chapters criteria. I will take your point on the job thing, since you did say minorities, keeping white people down. However, I was not assuming the white person is always more qualified. You can't tell me though, that it has never happened. Even if the person doesn't know for a fact that was the case, sometimes experience, education, and whatever else tell who is more qualified. It could be that the other person had a better interview though. Who knows. All I was saying is that because of affirmative action, the better candidate does not always get the job, whether they're brown, pink, purple, gray, polkadot, green, or chartreuse.
Anyway, I have seen your point, and I hope you can see mine. Even though it doesn't happen often, there are cases of minorities discriminating against whites. Thanks for reading this far
