"See, in America we often forget that the various initiatives which made
up the capital-A Affirmative Action program were based on policies and
procedures that have always existed for white men. That was the point,
actually, to make everybody equal not by eliminating the best benefits
of American society, but by spreading them around so that more than a
few groups of people could enjoy them."

Excellent article.  Via George Station and Lionel Lauer.
