Most people either fail to realize, or don't want to realize, that Affirmative Action included not only race, but also gender, religion, and nationality. As you state, white women have benefitted more from Affirmative Action than any other group.
Let's face it. Folks out there have not wanted us around since they stopped getting our lifetime labor. I find it ironic that we had a 100% employment rate until 1865. It's been low ever since. Too many people see any gain on our parts, even the few crumbs of equality that they decide when and how we get, are too much for some of them. We've fought before, and we'll fight some more.
