[quote=@POOHEAD189] Do you sincerely think, that in America, minorites are afforded all of the same treatment and opportunities with the same ease as white men? [/quote] Can you provide me with a place where these opportunities are any better? There are several places on this world where the caste system still exists by and large. To this I add that nothing can be or ever will be perfect, but the United States and what it represents in this area is damned close, if not almost perfectly on this mark. For added salt in the wound, as far as I am concerned, anyone who disagrees with that should attempt to live wherever they think this Utopia to be. This "racism" and "privilege" game is not an argument I am going to take seriously; it certainly has no impact on those I find myself interviewing, instructing or supervising. Those who have or have not advanced did so under their own merit.
