\"I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except
numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are
things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment
Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United
Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or
Miss White America ; and see what happens.Jesse Jackson will be knocking
down your door.\"

I totally agree. But then those same people will say things like \"well you don't need those days because you weren't represed, abused etc\".
I'm a minority in my country now because I'm not black, have boobs or in a wheelchair.

It sucks trust me. In the Gov't where I work they still have the mandate to hire visible minorties, women and aboriginals.
Even if these people are less qualified they get hired. Wrong way to run a country.

yea. We went throught that here with \"Affrimative Action\" back in the 80's had the same result.
Glad to see that \"stupid\" is universal.

Please don't mention that phrase to me. This country is currently employing it as it is deemed fair discrimination to correct the wrongs of the previous gov. But almost 15years down the line of democracy they still keep throwing this in our faces. There should be an expiry date on these types of laws in my view but ja paying for the deeds of our forefathers sucks big time and of course exploiting these type of things have become an refined art for some it would seem.

I've seen that quote too many times, typically in an email forwarded from relatives. It's part of a larger collection which was
not written by Mr. Rooney (or George Carlin, who has also been mis-linked to it).
