And on the black/white racism issue, it is much more common now (from my experiences) to see reverse discrimination, especially in the workplace. I HATE that businesses get tax breaks or have certain quotas to fill with their employee race status. If anyone can explain to me how that is fair, please enlighten me. I do not think checking the "white" box on an application should shoot you to the bottom of the applicant pool or knock you out of the running completely. I didn't even realize how much this actually happened until recently when many of my friends graduated from college and could not get jobs because businesses weren't looking to hire white people, especially white males. I am just going to stop now, I could vent about this for ages.

How do you think blacks (and women) felt for centuries? 
So if it was wrong for blacks and women to be treated that way, why is it OK for white males to be treated that way? Sounds like a double standard to me (or maybe just plain hypocrisy).
