So, how is it discrmination to help those get an equal hand that currently dont have that. How many non white male airlines pilots do you think there are? I'l tell you. 2% Thats terrible. The playing field is not equal so yes they need a hand up. Thats differant from a hand out. Nobody should want a hand out but a hand up is al they need.
My dad (or any blood relative) does not own an airplane. I am the first one in my family to touch the controls. I was born a poor white child. Does that mean I deserve "something to help expose" me? If so, i would love to have some folks forward my resume.
By the way, i doubt the NBA is staffed by players who are representiative of the US population... perhaps we should have more asians and hispanics on the teams. (oops, maybe I crossed a line here)
