no. the suspicion of your merit comes from the truth. you see, AA paints minorities into a corner. this time it isn't igorance, or bigotry, or hate that drives suspicion. this time it's the TRUTH that a minority isn't necessarily equal with his peers that drives such thought. the dignity of all minorities is demolished when it is the truth that vindicates suspicion... the right is no longer on your side.
