I read this little bit on a recent Thomas Sowell column. This is in essence why I adamantly disagree with affirmative action. Each person should be judged upon character and productivity, not skin color. We shouldn't lavish awards on certain races of people that would not be given to other races for similar accomplishments.
"In response to the news of President Obama receiving the Nobel Prize for peace, an e-mail from a reader recalled a black classmate's comments upon graduating high school many years ago. When asked to list the advantages and disadvantages of being black, the black student facetiously listed as an advantage 'being praised for infinitesimal accomplishments.'"
