[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 2665380, member: 561910"] Whites tend to see discrimination and racism as individual acts of deliberate discrimination, whereas people of color tend to see it as an institutionalized system of unequal opportunities. If it really is a level playing field, why is it that one in three black or Mexican children live in poverty? Why is it that a black child's chances of dying before the age of one is twice as high as a white baby? If it isn't unequal opportunities what is it? Are people of color just naturally incapable being as civilized as whites? Do they turn down the help? Is that why they are statistically so much worse off than whites? They are given more opportunity than whites, yet do worse.. if thats true it must be because they are biologically inferior to whites... is that what your saying? Minorities are statistically underrepresented in education, government, law, medicine, ect ect ect.. If you aren't racist, why is it bad to try to make up for that underrepresentation? Oh yeah because its their own fault they are where they are... they must be inferior.. thats what you are really saying. [/QUOTE]
