I would be careful about applying absolutes to this debate. As a white male who has attended a state university ( in a southern state no less ), worked for several companies whose avowed policy is EEO, I have NEVER to my knowledge been denied a job, spot in school, etc in order to fill a quota. In fact, I have never failed to receive an offer for any job which I was genuinely interested in. So if I have been punished for being a white male, I am unaware of it. Please bear in mind that as a programmer my situation is not typical, just be careful not to speak for me in your blanket condemnation of AA. bob weiler.
