It does not follow?

Oh I beg to differ, and I'll offer proof.

Just as an example in Canada, we have the Employment Equity Act of 1995.

"The Employment Equity Act designates four groups as the beneficiaries of employment equity:

1) Women

2) People with disabilities

3) Aboriginal people, a category consisting of Status Indians, Non-status Indians, Métis (people of mixed French-Aboriginal ancestry in western Canada), and Inuit (the Aboriginal people of the Arctic).

4) Visible minorities, a category defined as the following (using the nomenclature of the Canadian government): Blacks, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Latin Americans, Pacific Islanders, South Asians, and West Asians/Arabs.

The term “non-white” is used in the wording of the Employment Equity Act and in employment equity questionnaires distributed to applicants and employees. This is intended as a shorthand phrase for those who are in the Aboriginal and/or visible minority groups. In this context, the use of the term non-white does open the door to ambiguity. For example, people who are Arabs or Latin Americans may consider themselves to be white, yet the federal government treats Arabs and Latin Americans as members of the visible minority category."

So if you're a white non-disabled male, it's actually politically correct to be discriminated against. And it's happening brother...

I have personally been told when I applied for a government job that whites need not apply. That's not racism?

I have personally been told by a Chinese tenant in my building that I should move because I'm not Chinese, despite the fact that I not he was born here. That's not racism? Do you honestly believe a white person could get away with saying the reverse and not be sued blind?

And even in the US where the legal language is more fairly worded, many companies, in an effort to ensure they're not viewed as racist or such, will actively bend over backwards giving preferential treatment to visible minorities. This kind of practice only serves as reverse racism.

Well, reverse racism is simply racism, period. I can appreciate you may not perceive it as such from your perspective and racial background Juan, but to say "it does not follow" just doesn't pass the litmus test. Whites especially males are now being victimized in society for something they didn't do. It was wrong when blacks and other minorities were being victimized, and it's just as wrong coming back the other way. Two wrongs don't make a right, and creating a new class of victims only serves to continue the problem.

After a few generations of this, what will you expect whites to say when it all comes out in the wash? "We had it good for a while, then we had our just desserts and everything's cool?" Or rather, "We've been shit on for generations and we're pissed..."

The only way for the whole thing to end is to make everyone equal, period. No affirmative action, no reverse racism. Just make everyone stand on their own two feet and let them succeed based on that.
