My career path was slowed due to minority hiring 20 years ago. welfare started 50 plus years ago. college entrance and scholarships have been biased to minorities for I don't know how long. I don't believe in government deciding winners and losers. However see reverse discrimination all over the place, I worked hard, came from a poor family and climbed the ladder. Then 3 times was stalled so someone with less experience could have an opportunity due to so called minority status. One of those parent's were wealthy, got to attend a major university. One stayed home with kids, then entered the work force and passed me with 3 years experience compared to my 20 years. The final was when I sat in a regional corp. meeting and we were told promotions would go to minorities. all while I and others were being slapped in the face with "white privilage"
It was a bad faith argument. Sorry you went through all that. Your situation is not unique or special. Many americans have been passed over or let go so a company could hire someone younger for less salary. That's just business. Would you be upset if a non minority was hired instead? If yes, it's a bad faith argument against affirmative action. If no, then people like you are the reason for affirmative action in the first place.
