<p>*In what way have you been able to take advantage of affirmative action mini?</p>
<p>Homebuying, access to mortgages (and at lower rates), access to capital (for businesses), access to better schools for the kids (if I wanted)…*</p>
<p>I have a question about mortgates- isn’t it illegal to discriminate by race?
We had toassume a mortgage because we didn’tqualify to take one out on our own- so that limited the housing we could purchase & since we don’t have savings, minority families couldnt have less.
I wonder if the experences that you are referring to are more of a class thing ( you have mentioned several times about the fancy LAC you have a degree from) rather than race</p>
<p>We didn’t live where there were restrictive conventant- indeed my mother attended the same inner city high school as my daughter & as you know Seattle bused for integration purposes before it was required by law.
I realize that you are making broad assumptions of a group, but since others are arguing their experience, I am merely trying to illustrate that * my * experience is different.
I get tired of people assuming- to my face- that I am pretentious and priviledged, despite all appearances to contrary</p>
