Yes, but my main point is that there is a real life important issue in which there is uncertainty in what is affirmative action and what is racist. The details of the issue are secondary.

Given that you consider it racist I would be very interested in hearing which of those groups I outlined that you consider racist. Is it very clear cut to you?

I was not protesting, as I indicated previously I don’t really want to focus on particular groups but it is useful in the discussion so I have. I have also tried to spread it around.

I am thinking about keeping quiet because I don’t want to create divisions. I do think it is an interesting and important thing to discuss and people keep replying and some have commented that they find it interesting. If people don’t want this to continue don’t read or post and it will end.

Is anyone here in the defence force, the police force perhaps? They would have a purpose in thinking and intellectualising about this. Getting off the off topic though :P
