if it was wrong to give whites preference over 5 decades ago it is wrong to give racial preference to minorities now
In all honestly, didn't white people have preference for far more than 5 decades in the history of America?
And does minorities being given equal access by law, really equate to preferential treatment? Or is the concept of true equalization being misconstrued as "preferential treatment" and anti white discrimination?
How can white people that are less than 70 years old have had preferential treatment for over 5 decades? Not too many of the over 70 crowd is left and those that are still alive just might have earned their successes or failures in life due to their own choices, effort or abilities. Same goes for whites under 70. You will not be able to prove that whites have preferential treatment now or the last 5 decades. Unequal outcome is not the same as unequal treatment.
There are racial disparities if you look at demographic data. By why is that?
Does whitey conspire to keep asians, Indians and hispanics down too? It certainly does not appear that way if you look at data.
You already understand that white women benefit from affirmative action because of their gender and not because of being white. That would be institutional sexism . Institution racism is also affirmative action.
Do you believe that when the civil rights act was signed in 1965, and the fair housing act in 1968, that all discrmination towards minorities stopped immediately?
