| Message | Positive discrimination is still discrimination, and it only helps create resentment against the groups perceived as favored by the State. Besides, how would _you_ feel if you knew that you only got your current job because you have a vagina / broken leg / whatever. How _should_ the excluded, better-than-you candidates feel? |
