I said this for a decade. I never want to see race-based hiring ever again in my life.

America is MERIT-based. And if you weren't born with the tools to MERIT the position, then maybe you can EARN your way up. All people can EARN the chance to MERIT all positions. 

But nobody "DESERVES" a chance at anything. EARN your chance. MERIT your position. PROVE YOU ARE THE WINNER.

Don't ever qualify or identify yourself as anything other than AMERICAN, damnit.
