Well, if we want to descend into the childish kind of racist discussion found elsewhere on the net, that's your call, but I'd like to think we're beyond that here....
I don't think it's too far-fetched to come to the compromise that yes, in todays society, affirmative action-type perspectives may in some case disadvantage the traditional "power group", the white male, and yet there are also benefits that may perhaps not be as obvious in job advertisings, but are undoubtedly there.
To say that the white male is now the only one who experiences discrimination seems to me to be a rather cold dismissal of all that women and minorities have had to experience daily....
For the most part..the unwillingness to look from another's perspective/come to an understanding is what plagues the racial issues in the United States...something that I've always felt Canada was beyond..
Again, I think we are mature people here (for the most part), and we can come to this compromise.....
