I know well qualified white guys who didn't get a job due to affirmative action. I'm sure they didn't feel the same way you do. Race/ sex should not be a factor in hiring. Making it one makes it racist/sexist.

As I said I’m sure it happens, but my violin for oppressed white folks is pretty small. We wouldn’t need affirmative action or other things if there wasn’t a need to help make things fair for minorities and women, now we can go too far the other way too, but as you very well know men and specifically white men are the least oppressed people in the world

Read what you are saying here: it's disciminationary in itself. You're saying you have a different sized violin for one race versus another. It's bigotry in its purest form.

I would say it's very arguable that Jack Dorsey and his crew would have locked Nick Shirley out of Twitter if Elon didn't purchase Twitter when he did...

You're basically saying it's OK because it only happens a little bit...

How would you say Asians are oppressed in the US?

Really any race? What we don't all have are the same parents. Just because I didn't have the money that Trump was handed does that make me oppressed? Because someone grew up poor in a single parent home?

"In simple terms, oppression is when a person or group is treated cruelly, unfairly, and with severe restrictions by someone with more power, making them feel burdened, controlled, or like they have no freedom, often through unjust laws, social norms, or force." Show me a race that this is done to in the US.

This country offers the greatest opportunity for people of all races. Some choose to put in the effort to seize it and some choose to blame others for their own laziness. Jmo.
