The Supreme Court has ended one form of reverse discrimination (affirmative action in college admissions to achieve inclusion of minorities). White and Asian students have been denied admission to college so that less qualified Black students are given preferential consideration. That is racist.

I realize that is how political correctness works. That does not make it right. All it does is create both more Black and white racists.

It is time to end all affirmative action. No one gets an advantage, and the best qualified applicant gets the spot, regardless of race or sexual orientation. That is what Martin Luther King Jr. said he wanted. However, that must not be what some minorities really want.
