You're the idiot if you don't think white women benefit from AA. I guess that fact would screw up your narrative.

Had a black guy tell me once that affirmative action is still racist because it helps Asians and Latinos skip ahead of blacks.

He said for sure Asians shouldn't count as minorities because white people love Asians.

White women typically have better grades and scores than white men.

The ONLY place where white women get an advantage is in government contracts in fields that don't have a large abundance of white women owners. And, in the many of those cases, the white woman owner is just a front "owner" for her husband.

In academics, white women aren't eligible for AA.

That isn't what affirmative action is. But that is what a lot of white failures think it is.


If you had read either one of the Michigan AA cases you would know that THAT is exactly what AA is. Both in admissions and job placement.
