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.
