End Racial Preferences??

Yes, says Roger Clegg.

And, of course, Obama won. How plausible is it that America is still so racist that the counterdiscrimination of racial preferences can be justified, when the country has just elected an African-American to be its leader?

It would be silly to say, with a black man as president, that there is some disadvantage that blacks inherently have that would justify their receiving an advantage that poor, immigrants, whatever kind of minorities do not receive. How about an even playing field? Because if a black man can be president, what excuse does an 18 year old kid have?
