My grandparents? You will have to go back a hell of a lot farther than them to go back to slavery. Here is a little link just to show you these things exist at least the supreme court sided with this case of reverse discrimination.
Ricci v. DeStefano - Reverse Discrimination Firefighters
No, we dont need to go back to slavery...lets just go back to 1964 and previous years.
A company can hire whoever they want. If they lower the bar, its their bar to lower. Its their assests, they do what they want. Many of my white male classmates are narrow body FO's at L-CAL. MANY of them got gaurd slots, fighter slots, etc and here I am in a lil ole 50 seater slaving away. Am I complaining? NO! Why, because I count my blessings...some of you should too.
