Default Why limit Affirmative Action to race?

White females have been the biggest recipients of affirmative action that I can think of. The bank I used to work for was forced to set a quota for placing more women into management positions. Of the ones I can remember, an Hispanic woman was promoted, but only White women were promoted into management track jobs. Only gender was a factor there, and that's the case in many, if not most affirmative action quotas these days. The bank failed and went out of business, though not because of that. But affirmative action aside, racism doesn't require that you be against other races; you might just think one race is superior to any and all others. In real terms, reverse racism is like some sort of confusing double negative. It's just a PC term, created in the 70's(?) to categorize racism directed toward Whites. As others have said, how can you reverse something which has no set direction to begin with?

Back on topic... since you can have a murder without a body, I don't see why you can't have a rape without DNA. But still, I don't know that any such thing happened here. And while I guess a prostitute can get raped, all I can see so far is hookers, out of control frat brats, booze, probably some drugs, a wild party and a whole bunch of silliness (at an overrated school). Meanwhile, more important things get passed over while the media focuses on this idiocy.
