Once again a thread made detailing advantages whites have received as part of a system based on white racial preferences gets closed here at USMB. But whites here get to post things about blacks based on racist beliefs in almost every section of this forum. Whites here are allowed to fuck up any and every thread by people pointing out advantages whites have had until those in charge come in and close them. This is done on purpose and it needs to be stopped and instead of threads getting closed the trolls need to be thread banned.
Since 1776 whites in America have received what they claim is affirmative action. The current policy itself has benefitted whites the most. White women have been the main beneficiary of the policy and this has increased overall white family income. Yet today white females complain about and oppose Affirmative Action and both white men and women complain about the unfairness of the policy.
This thread is a discussion of Affirmative Action for whites. Not how blacks do anything. There will be no acceptance of off topic posts. All off topic posts will be immediately reported.
White women benefit most from affirmative action — and are among its fiercest opponents
By Victoria M. Massie
A 1995 report by the California Senate Government Organization Committee found that white women held a majority of managerial jobs (57,250) compared with African Americans (10,500), Latinos (19,000), and Asian Americans (24,600) after the first two decades of affirmative action in the private sector. In 2015, a disproportionate representation of white women business owners set off concerns that New York state would not be able to bridge a racial gap among public contractors.
A 1995 report by the Department of Labor found that 6 million women overall had advances at their job that would not have been possible without affirmative action. The percentage of women physicians tripled between 1970 and 2002, from 7.6 percent to 25.2 percent, and in 2009 women were receiving a majority of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, according to the American Association of University Women. To be clear, these numbers include women of all races; however, breaking down affirmative action beneficiaries by race and gender seems to be rare in reported data.
Contrary to popular belief, affirmative action isn't just black. It's white, too. But affirmative action's white female faces are rarely at the center of the conversation.

"But affirmative action has been quite beneficial to women, and disproportionately beneficial to white women. Women are now more likely to graduate with bachelor’s degrees and attend graduate school than men are and outnumber men on many college campuses. In 1970, just 7.6 percent of physicians in America were women; in 2002, that number had risen to 25.2 percent. But — and this is a big but — those benefits are more likely to accrue to white women than they are to women of color, and that imbalance has very real effects on employment and earnings later in life. In other words: affirmative action works, and it works way better for white women than it does for all the other women in America."

"Ironically, the group that affirmative action helps the most is also one of its most stringent opponents. Statistics show that white women benefit immensely from affirmative action, but according to Vox, they are also among those who most want to see it abolished.
The numbers prove it: After two decades of affirmative action, it was white women who held the majority of managerial jobs, compared to African American, Latino, and Asian American women (the supposed beneficiaries of these policies), according to a 1995 report by the California Senate Government Organization Committee. Across the board, affirmative action helped women obtain success in the labor market. Today, women are more educated and successful in the workforce than ever before, while married women are taking over as household breadwinners."

Or maybe blacks were never neither underprivileged nor a minority!
