It was an example mean to illustrate the flippancy of the implementation, it applies to all affirmative action targets

Edit: and to answer your comment about calling blacks black, even though i certainly don't have to answer, it's because that's what my black friends told me to call them, and not use african american. So back the fuck off that one maybe?

my point is more where are you hanging out that it's routine to refer to black people as "blacks" like this, and it's a little concerning you didn't pick up on that point
