At the moment, I am locking horns with a poster on another recreational forum on the issue of affirmative action, and I need some references. I particularly need information/stats on the growth of the black middle class and the success of asian immigrant groups. Stats on success/failure of minorities in higher education would also be appreciated. AND, if anyone knows anything about the membership of the club where the Masters will be held, please let me know that too. This poster claims they are all rich, white conservatives, a claim I very much doubt.
