Damn dude - that's really taking one for the team. Unfortunately, most do not see it for what it is until it affects them directly - as in not getting a job or being passed over for someone else less qualified just to fill a quota. I was hammered years ago when affirmative action was making the rounds. 3 years of college basically down the tubes preparing for a career where there would be no openings for whites for at least 10 years or more. It wasn't good then and what they are trying to do now is even worse. Don't give up. Good luck.
