Retarded - Mentally Challenged - Special.
Initially I read it as Euthanizing Affirmative Action.
Affirmative Discrimination is the more correct phrase. And by their attempts to give “people of color” extra bennies, the race hustlers make a mockery of the constitution wherein there is no mention of special classes of Americans.
