When are the Repubs going to learn the Dems don’t fight fair. Just like when they tried to discredit and destroy Joe The Plumer they’re going to try do the same thing to the firefighter Sotomayor ruled against in the reverse discrimination case. They’re saying he has a history of litigation and if Joe was an example they’ll soon say he isn’t really a firefighter and cheated on his taxes. Of course, when you’re a Dem appointee not paying taxes is a resume enhancer. Anyway, get ready for the Dem and media smear machine to kick into gear. Don’t be surprised if they claim he starts his own fires just so he can look heroic. Nothing is below these people. LINK
Although many people see the white firefighters as victims in a long history of preference for minorities over whites, When it comes to racial preferences, it’s not always the whites who are the wronged party.
Recently The University of California changed it’s admission policy for all 9 of it’s campuses.
Flooded by Asian students who tend to do better than whites on test scores and school grades, the US regents decided to downplay the importance of tests and grades in their admission policy

“I like to call it affirmative action for whites,” said Ling-chi Wang, a retired professor at UC Berkeley. “I think it’s extremely unfair to Asian-Americans on the one hand and underrepresented minorities on the other.”
The new policy would eliminate the requirement that applicants take two SAT subject tests and reduce the number of students guaranteed admission based on grades and test scores alone. It takes effect for the freshman class of fall 2012.
Of course it’s not always whites who are wronged by affirmative action. But that takes nothing away from the issue at hand.
