re: #263 Killgore Trout

I’m getting a stronger whiff of racism these days. Why does everybody assume that any successful minority succeed only because of affirmative action. I’ve seen many people here argue that Obama is the first affirmative action President. A lot of people here also assume that a successful Latina judge is unqualified because she’s a minority and therefore benefited from affirmative action.

That’s one of the unfortunate consequences of affirmative action - it leaves the door open for racists to exploit that.
