I worked my way through the UO. I didn't benefit from being a minority. The truth is that when I made it clear that I didn't come here to play football, I was not able to see an academic advisor until I got to grad school. My father sent me packing when I was 16. I'm a self made man. As a vocational counselor I helped about 13,000 Lane Co. residents find work. About 90% of them were white. I'm retired now so I don't need to coddle white folks to be employed. If you are female, you can benefit from Affirmative Action. The truth is more white women got work and college educations from that program than black people. Maybe you should have studied harder in school. Have you heard of Title 9. It was to help women go to college. That is why there are women sports programs on every campus. The 21st century is not kind to the poorly educated.
