How do white people get to complain about affirmative action, when it is benefiting them the most? White women get more affirmative action than any other group of people. Guess who white women marry? White men of course. So whatever benefit affirmative action gives, those benefits are going back into the white family, who need I remind you, white families have been benefiting from racist policies ever since the founding of this country and before.
Black people never got reparations for slavery, and we continue to suffer. Yet people can't leave this one thing alone. This affirmative action that doesn't cost any taxpayer money, but simply letting a discriminated people into institutions that have historically been against them.
That's not what's happening with Affirmative Action. What the problem is, is that they're letting minorities in with lower qualifications than Whites and Asians who are rejected have. That's the issue of contention.
And before you go on and on about righting past wrongs, Asians were used as slave labor to build the Transcontinental Railroad. Yet their descendents frequently have even higher qualifications than Whites when it comes to college admissions.
Also, how is AA so racist, when white women benefit from it more than any group?
Many people assume that any black, non-athlete got to that college through AA, even Michelle Obama and her daughters. Read through any AA thread and you'll plainly see what I'm talking about. Most of the time, it's just an excuse for their own failures, like Abby in the link above. Not sure why that's difficult to understand.

So take any 'hate Whitey' attitude and shove it!
You aren't listening. Affirmative Action benefits white people more than anyone. So I guess highly qualified whites are being rejected for, lower qualified whites. The fact that you are making black people the face of white people's "discrimination", is very telling. If highly qualified white people are being rejected, chances are they can go somewhere else and be accepted. Black people are simply trying to get into the door. Yet all it seems we get in return is massive debt, and still no profitable jobs. There are many highly educated blacks who can't get hired because of who they are. That's real discrimination for you.
By the way, as hard as it was to work on the railroads, the chinese weren't slaves. Black people also worked on the railroads. Also besides all that, most of the ancestry of Asian Americans today goes back to the 1900s. Their ancestors were immigrants that came here after the railroads were built. They also come from educated families more often than not, because we aren't just letting anyone come to the States.
