Affirmative Action is not racism. It's equity. Racism is the belief that certain people are inferior due to their skin color or ethnic background. Equity is reserving a certain number of slots for those that have been the victims of racism.
White men now decry "Affirmative Action" as "reverse racism" because their historically "all white, corporate" work places are now more representative of a diverse America.. They now see black and brown people earning decent salaries and no longer in the roles of subservience white men have become accustomed to seeing. The lone black or brown "Token" in an all white workforce and management staff (while being surrounded by privileged white males who often have no more credentials than the minorities they manage) is no longer cutting the mustard. African Americans don't just ask, we now DEMAND full equity in accessing opportunities to high paying jobs in this country. White people may buy out our leaders, hand pick the chosen few and shut those doors to all the rest of us but their financial markets will shake until they do right by us.
