I am of the opinion that race is a myth, invented by Europeans in the 15th century, and the policies of government mandated affirmative action today are not only ineffective, they are again immoral. Culture is real, individuals are no myth, racism (and poverty, war, hunger, violence – even guns, or stupidity, value, or choice) cannot ever be eliminated by government, but especially not by racial preference.
