considering the years(decades) of discrimination, which have lead to an obvious disparity in the ratio of well educated minorities, I can see the need for an equalizer. Is it fair, No. Does it work, Doubtful. Is it at least an attempt, Yes. We unfortunately, are attempting to create an even playing field out of a canyon, and it wont be easy.
As for the white male getting Zero preferential treatment, I beg to differ. As a representative of this class of person, I see (in the big picture) far more opportunity for myself from birth to death, than for any other class of humans on this earth, there can be no doubt about this FACT.
I am reminded of the spoiled child, bitching about vanilla ice cream, when he wanted chocolate, right in front of the child with none.
