The Orwellian Nature of ‘Affirmative Action’

An interesting essay on political correctness and the division of a nation.

I am reminded by this article how angrily I filled out my form during the last national census. I struck through EVERY question about race, creed, color, etc., etc., etc., etc....ad nauseam, and scrawled American as my reply.

I did this based on several decades of military service and remembering a famous, nameless company First Sergeant who, when being questioned about his attitude regarding Equal Opportunity by the Annual General Inspection ‘inquisitor’ about Equal Rights replied....

When I look at that formation every morning, I don’t see black, white, brown, red or yellow. All I see is GREEN.
