My ancestors came to America between 1880 and 1910. They never owned slaves.
Why should I have to pay? I haven't benefitted from racism, I've suffered. I can't get hired to certain positions because I don't help to fulfill a quota.

I applied for a dream job but after being hired by the district office, the head office denied it because the job had to go to a minority. Never mind a minority hadn't applied and never mind that after another 4 years a minority still hadn't applied.
