The best way to avoid being told one is an Affirmative Action hire is to be hired on merit, without regard to race.

maybe somebody needs to explain what a microaggression is. My understanding is that it is things like people looking at you funny. Well, I have been looked at funny. BFD.

I haven't been watched by store security, that I know of, because of my race. But I have had a gun drawn on me because I am male. I have been the target of muggers because of my race.
