    How is that not systematic racism?

    The only reason Affirmative action is a thing is because whites are already overrepresented in the work force. If we’re talking about a race, how can this policy be institutional racism when the race that you claim it affects negatively is actually still overrepresented at all levels of power??

    Sucks for you, but you clearly got over it with ease. You weren’t imprisoned for an 8th of weed a cop stashed in your car at a traffic stop.

    Keep acting like your minor inconvenience is evidence of systemic white oppression tho.

    Fucking clowns on this site I swear.

      When applied at a high level, I agree with you.

      But when applied to an individual it’s absolutely discriminatory.

      Can you truly not see that?
