Advantages in college admissions, job applications, and financial assistance that caters to minorities are not racist.
It is more of a game of catch up.
The race we have been running has been massively unfair.
Whites have been running with sneakers while many minorities, women, people of other disadvantages have been wearing concrete shoes.
Now, because we realize how much they have been disadvantages, these people are given chances to catch up.
However, a bunch of whiny white twenty somethings (generally male) get butt hurt about it and act like they are the victims.
Tell me this: With all of the slight advantages that some minorities and women get now, do you think it would be worth it to switch from being a white male?
As a white male with many advantages and disadvantages, I have no problem with assisting women and minorities so that they can catch up a bit.
Thinking "Slavery is over, now things are even." is about as ignorant as it gets. It's like when you're in last in Mario Kart so you get better items, except in this case, the people in last were put there without a chance.
