"Explain to me, with citation, where I have benefited in a racial spoils system."

So-called "minority" groups receive preferential admissions to colleges and universities, and receive preferential treatment in government grants and loans, a fact of which I am sure you are aware.

Minorities also receive preferential treatment in many government jobs and contracts. Should I go on, or do you get the picture?

Oh, I'm aware of it. And I'm also aware of the fact that most indians I know refuse to fill out the EEOC info. Putting "Native American" is a good way to ensure you are never called for an interview. THose few high-profile indians that DO play the race card are NOT that highly thought of among those I associate with.

The only government job or contract I've ever had was one that said I'd server 4 years active duty, and 4 in the reserves for an 8 year obligation. Otherwise, I've never had agovernment job or contract. Tell me - how many indian-owned small businesses are out there with government contracts? You don't see many. You'd think there would be more.
