Are you then considered a minority and can use affirmative action

Because statistically Baton Rouge is mostly black, with blacks being 50% of the population and whites are only 40%. In New Orleans, it's 60% black and 33% white. Are whites considered a legal minority and are able to enjoy affirmative action?

No, but you have every right to check your white privilege at the city line.

No, they are considered stupid for sticking around and deserve whatever they get.

affirmative action


Don't need it. I've got white privilege. Never had to work a day in my life for anything I have.

What kinds of affirmative action are you referring to specifically?

No. You're white. Stop trying to oppress people and check your privilege.

It's worse with Asians. I know a Korean lady whose white husband tried to get her a job reserved for minorities. They said she is not eligible because Asians are considered white.

Saw where someone on twitter a while back posted something saying that if you are anti-black or anti-female than you are anti-humane. I replied back asking if being anti-white is anti-humane as well. Her reply back was that anti-white isn't real and is fake news. Go figure.

Then maybe you get a better perspective of what it's like to be a minority.

Not being sarcastic. But blacks are responding to the same perception. So, with exception of overt BLM racism, perhaps it's educational.
