Myself asks the left: you're more than willing to have some reverse discrimination as far as affirmative action, but yet not willing to allow a little discrimination in this case? and to the right Myself asks: is this "fair"? should not performance/qualifications alone determine who gets a job? When political organizations react this way, well, it makes my head feel like its going to explode.
