Affirmative Actions days are numbered

Why would you assume that? Would it be that since I would "fit in" or seem to
with the group that is in the overwhelming majority population-wise and power-wise
in this country that would be an advantage?

It undeniably is, and that's the reason for Affirmative Action programs.

I'm proud of my heritage, and anyone who knows me even casually knows about
it. I could use my percentage of african-american, native american and maybe even hispanic to get some "special consideration" or bonus points, but I don't.
My parents both got Master's Degrees, I didn't have a deprived childhood. I'm
not one of the people those considerations were meant for, because my
background put me on an even playing field with the average American, or
actually maybe a little higher than that according to statistics I've read about
education and stuff on average. Great, so now I sound like a snob...

As for the example you sited, it's a contractor working for the airport in SF,
which is a government facility which makes them a government contractor
which makes them subject to the quotas.

Anti-Affirmative Action movements kind of crack me up, because they have to rest on the arguement that White Americans are being victimized, so the
people using this arguement have to be exactly what they're claiming to
be fighting. The majority group being mistreated by the establishment that
is elected by the majority group.

Actually, Drnaline, here's another Shelby Steele-written article that makes
your arguement pretty effectively, from a black perspective, and concludes with
what I was saying about finding a way to help disadvantaged people regardless of race.

Debate Topics: Affirmative Action

So, I will agree that Affirmative Action can be harmful to minorities.
I don't agree that it is that harmful to white Americans, because they are
so many options and opportunities available to them.

You seem to miss that I'm essentially agreeing with you, that Affirmative Action
should be retooled to help a bigger group who need help regardless of race. I'm
just disagreeing with the reason you cited, because in my experience it isn't
true. There is much more evidence of the "good ole boy" network giving an
advantage to the same contractors over and over and over again than reverse
discrimination being this insurmountable problem.
