Affirmative Action Unnecessary?

I don't know if we can actually ever be on a level playing field, given our size and our individualism as a country. People can talk about level playing fields until Jesus comes back from the dead, but IMO, there will always be a sizable part of American society that looks at difference from the "norm" as bad. Those who don't fit the norm don't get the cool shit.

I'm not pessimistic...just pragmatic.
