Discrimination

[warch]

It does no good to slant the playing field against today's whites to make up for the fact that the playing field was slanted towards people with vaguely the same skin color as their parents.

Its not slanted against. The white opportunities still exist, they are the tradition. (how many white college students and grads do we have in the cellar?) What does affirmative action do? Just ask any first generation black college grad, or native american college grad, or latino grad who is the first of their family to achieve that level of education. It bodes well for positive civic contributions of the next generation. And the next.
