The first quota system in America was established by and for white men. When this country was founded, white men had a quota system of 100 percent. One hundred percent of all of the economically and politically powerful positions went to white males. This occurred whether they were qualified or unqualified for their specific job. White men control America and white women have benefited more from affirmative action than any other group of people.
Racism is alive and well in America.
These great people know that affirmative action helps everyone. We must all work together for equality for all. Proposition 209 divides people. Affirmative action unites people. On Nov. 5, I will vote no on Proposition 209.
