Neutral. Race or gender based? No. Class based? Maybe.

I only picked "no" because there wasn't a "hell no" option.

Yes Joe, in fact it is worse now than ever before.  Even the woman obama nominated to the Supreme court is a big supporter of reverse discrimination.  It's called affirmitive action and its used to get jobs, promotions and other perks for the blacks and other minorities.  Which would be fine if they were the best qualified person and sure, sometimes they are.  but a lot of the time they are not and so a MORE qualified white person gets the shaft because the company or college wants to be p-c.

I was referring to your spelling of the word, which I schooled you on already.  Again, the actual content of your post was probably garbage.
