When it comes to the safety and security of the nation, affirmative action should never play a role in the hiring of individuals. We need the very best and the very strongest leaders to run our government. Unfortunately, we elected a very divisive and polarizing person — who angled from day one — to base his decisions on race and not the purest form of meritocracy.
Here’s an email addressed to the President, discussing candidates for his cabinet — which entailed black, latino, asian and middle eastern Americans. Apparently, white Americans were a priority, to be excluded.

Barack —
Following up on your conversations with John over the weekend, attached are two documents:
— A list of African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, divided between Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant Sectetary levels, as well as lists of senior Native Americans, Arab/Muslim Americans and Disabled Americans. We have longer lists, but these are candidates whose names have been recommended by a number of sources for senior level jobs in a potential Administration.
— A list of women, similarly divided between candidates for Cabinet/Deputy and other senior level positions.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
— Mike Froman
Here are the documents tied to Barack.
Incidentally, Michael Froman is now a US Trade Rep and was instrumental in creating both the TPP and TTIP.

Its so unfashionable to be white these days. I carry around so much guilt for it…
I feel your pain.
We must be a meritocracy. Affirmative action is a racist policy of actual discrimination and should end. We should offer equal opportunity here not guarantee equal outcomes.

The White Man’s Burden or White Rage, take your pick.
Diversity trumping(wink) merit is a great injustice and anti-American.
Diversity is divisive, the more they push it the more divided we will become. Diversity, divert, divide. It is very simple to see their agenda.
Remember this Caucasian people: White people benefit greatly from racism. When I was applying for jobs right out of college, 30% of the population that was my age were not competing candidates for my job position because racism and discrimination held them back in many ways. This made is much easier for middle class whites like me to get good jobs,and this is at the expense of minorities. \\
I wonder if Elizabeth Warren was included among the “native americans” in the list
