Debbie Schlussel: Does This Mean We Get Affirmative Action?
Today's New York Times reports that Whites will soon be a minority in the Metropolitan New York area, according to Census figures.
The times also reports that this will also soon be the case in the San Diego, Washington, Dallas and Las Vegas regions.
So, does this man that, since Whites will be in the minority, that they will get the benefits that go with "living while cracker/honky"? Like affirmative action race preferences in hiring, admissions, promotions, and White minority set-asides in government contracting?
Don't count on it. Even though what's good for the goose is good for the gander, it isn't good for the honky, apparently. They can just change the nomenclature. "Minority business development councils" will now be "Majority business development councils," with the latest minority--the ever more disempowered White male--getting the short end of the stick.
