Re: Southpaw
The thing is dude, those views are easily to counter if you spend some time looking at it from an objective perspective. Affirmative action policies are only in place because ethnic minorities were treated so badly. Ethnicity (and gender for that matter) specific professional associations were only formed to protect those groups from discrimination. Some of those groups are no longer needed but many still are.
If you really believe that the white men of this country are somehow being screwed, go look at the directors of the FTSE 100 companies and tell me just how many black directors there are in that list.
I'll give you a hint.
There's one. He was appointed in March of this year and he is the first black head of a FTSE100 company. Women don't fare much better. So if you really think that there is no need for ethnic minorities to be protected by these special groups, you are, quite frankly, delusional.
