Sometimes we got to take some action to get ahead in life.
Everyone uses every advantage available to get ahead, but expect peers to resent your minority advantage if you fall short or are even equal in talent. Ya betta be betta!

The real world wont give government crappy hires a pass either, luckily for them they usually don't ever have to deal with the real world.

Decades ago was a different environment. Today AA has overstayed it's use.
