How about this for the flip side.

In Orange County, California, white people are the minority. But guess what, those affirmitive action laws don't reflect when that happens.

It is an outdated law that was made at a time when it was needed, today it is a slap in the face to any honest business. "I can't hire JOe because i need a black guy", even though Joe might be the #1 person in his field, do you fire Tim so you can hire Joe?

If people crawled out of thier small towns around the country, they would see that racism is generally happening to the stereotypes of the country. YES there are many exceptions where people get in bad situations, but there are groups in all races that will attack another (Black Gangs, Mexican Gangs, Asian Gangs, White Gangs, etc... "Ese and Homeboy" are still being treated like so while the regular guys (i say this case that is what they are to me) are getting good jobs regardless or race. My boss, the VP of Software Development, is mexican. Our #3 salesman is black. You know what they are to everyone else, except the "good ol boys"? People.

The problem is, the people with money in this country, who end up running for office, are still "good ol boys", and until that changes, these assinine laws that keep racism in our brains are going to stay.
