Oh my, this comment is so preposterous it's difficult to know where to begin! The "competitive environment that made our country great"? Allow me to cite just a few ways that Whites have historically rigged the game to their advantage: a) denied the vote to all but White males for almost a century, b) used Jim Crow to deny blacks the vote for another century, c) denied the vote to women until 1920, d) prevented minorities from receiving home loans and funneled them into low-income areas, e) segregated the educational system and created a funding imbalance that favored White children...shall I continue? And then there's slavery, a system of forced labor under which blacks contributed an estimated 4 trillion dollars to the US economy but received not a penny in wages, thus creating an imbalance in inherited wealth that has vastly favored Whites. Nothing about this country has ever been "competitive". If success is a 100m dash, Whites started at the 50 and then blamed others for losing.
