I guess no matter how far we progress as a society we will never get past skin color or sexual preference as a way of judging others. 
It makes the white people mad so it shouldn't be like that? That's what im hearing. AA gets them the job, their skills and abilities allows them to keep the job. Who says that every minority isn't qualified to do the job for which they applied? All I keep hearing is that the job is given to a "green" person who's underqualified instead of the token white guy who's got the qualifications. What about when a qualified minority gets the nod over an equally qualified white guy, would you still have a problem w/that too? You guys just assume that all minorities are underqualified, I come to that conclusion cause that's the only example you two have given.
