'Affirmative Action' should be swinging over to our side very shortly. After all, the white, American, Christian, male is the new minority. I don't say this in a "supremacist" sort of way, just that it has become the new reality.
ALL other races, religions and 'genders' are given preference over me in most of society, even though we are all supposed to be 'equal'. I can't get a job because I'm over-educated, over-qualified, too much experience, and, I'm never told this to my face, but I know I'm also too white and would blow their EEOC hiring statistics. After all, hiring statistics are more important than hiring the best person for the job.
I've started checking African American on applications a few days ago. I may try Latino as well. I've also started dumbing down my resume and pay scale history. I bet I'll get some calls now. We'll see.
If people can select their own 'gender', as some of these dopey states are letting them do, then I guess the next step is selecting one's own race.
