[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 179713, member: 8657"] Couldn't agree with you more on this Affirmative Action issue. But it's not just at UPS by a far cry: While attending the same college that I did, my roommate, a young man of color, would waltz into the financial aids office about once a month and collect "emergency funds", which made his life at the time considerably easier. This was not an option for the rest of us, who survived on Top Ramon for 2 years. My father, now retired, was employed with the State of California. During his career there, one of his responsibilities was to hire the forest rangers. He of course chose the applicants who had the best college grades and the most time spent out in the field. Until it was handed down that he had to start hiring a significant % based on race, regardless of their grades and experience. Kind of blows your mind.... :confused1 [/QUOTE]
