Your questions were intellectually dishonest. I was answering absurd questions with absurdity. You failed to understand this. But just remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people who ask questions
Your statement that it is impossible to determine who has been 'victimized' (your word and sentiment, not mine) is false. Those deteminations are made every day. The American government has determined that American Japanese suffering was worth renumeration (cash money). Apparently it is worth more than years of state sanctioned Jim Crow laws (at least monetarily). You apparently think that the victimization of the white male by affirmative action is worth more than any gains from said program. The white male is the biggest victim in this country. Affirmative action is holding him back. Of course his concerns and issues and 'victimization' is more important than everyone else. OMG, I finally see your point Ralph7, the white male is the biggest, truest 'victim.' This needs to be addressed and corrected before irreversible damage is done.
