MF (47):
The start (not the end….as it took DECADES) of integration is nearing its 40 year mark.

I am now 47 years old. Almost 30 years ago, I had the same thing happen when I studied engineering in New York’s City University – a publicly funded university system that offers a great education for peanuts.
Even back then, the African immigrants in the class wound up working with non-blacks in laboratory sessions. Why? – as one said:
“I work as a security guard at night while going to college, living with rommates and sending money back home – and they sit around thinking everything’s coming to them.”
30 years ago…
Sorry – it’s been long enough. The whole problem is the excuses made for “African Americans.”
So when you write:
While the comments here do not exhibit much racism, it does exhibit plenty of prejudice
- – - – - – - – - -
No, not prejudice – impatience.
Impatience with taking our money, and with affirmative action’s inequities.
Impatience with mind-reading such as you yourself engage in. With the people who deputize themselves as judges of others, instead of getting on with life.
Impatience with the pompous self-importance and guilt-mongering used to ram all this stuff down people’s throats – in a society free of any real racism OR prejudice for a generation now.
