I agree. Just look at the history of this country. Whites can still take pride when it comes to their ethnicity (Italian, Russian, Polish, etc) but when they start taking pride in themselves at a racial level, that's when things start turning into racism and prejudice.
You exaggerate ... somewhat. White males are responsible for colonialism, oppression of non-whites and all women, capitalist exploitation of the world's resources... name anything bad and pretty much [heterosexual] white men are responsible for it.
So if a black person had conquered the Americas wonder if people would feel/think the same? Yet, how many black men were involved in helping develop colonialism, seems selling their own people into slavery was not an issue.
To act like no white men disagreed with oppression of people, would be naive. You act like all white men owned slaves.
I think maybe you should be going to college then, because it's still a pretty white experience . As for firefighters I really don't think written exams show all that much proof on ones competency in a subject. Performance based tests are always better and more equal.
Do you know anything about fire science?
Where in the hell do liberals come up with this idiotic crap.

Not sure if you quite understood the context of my post.
We're talking about guys that have surpassed minorities in all aspects, not just intellectually. It's not a secret that it's legal for public institutions to discriminate in such a manner.
If they discriminate so freely than why do the majority of white applicants still get in? If the discrimination was so great then the numbers would be much more equal.The fact is that race plays a factor but it's not the end all be all that you seem to think it is.

In the United States, race is usually the end all and be all. It's not a small factor. The people that usually deny it are the ones who have never experienced it, so it's easy to downplay racism in America.
