One has to be cautious about stories. My colleague at the time, Anthony, complained against Mayor Giuliani because he was stopped as a driver at least once a month. To Anthony it was DWB- Driving While Black. I was stopped once a decade over my 40 years of driving. One ticket.
But I had conversations with other guys working with me. They had been driven home by Anthony and said it was a near death experience for them. I will never forget the fright on their faces.
When white students interact with black students will they really get an unfiltered view of life in America?
I agree with you that the high costs of affirmative action (and the ADA) are unsupported by the benfits, if any, therefrom.
The video is a good discussion. I enjoyed it.
