That's the problem, minorities and women ARE handicapped when compared to the average able bodied white man. That's WHY they need all the special programs and treatment. It's not racism or sexism, it's the plain fact that an able bodied white man makes a better student, worker, pretty much anything...and THAT is why they were chosen over a woman or minority.

With women, it's their weaker strength, unwillingness "to get dirty", ineptness with things mechanical, and a myriad of other things that make them unfit for many positions and skills. Minorities, well, genetic differences go deeper than skin color.

Socialism IS for the handicapped...you're absolutely correct. White men made the "Western Civilization" and the technology we enjoy. It's a fact. Women and minorities were minor contributors, not because they "weren't allowed", but because they weren't as good. Now that THEY are being promoted and the white men held back, where IS the world headed? Look at the US and it's rankings, many have fallen dramatically. It's because we changed. From white male based/oriented/promoted, to woman and minority based/oriented/promoted. We stopped growing when we went to affirmative action and quotas in everything we do. We aren't all equal, not by a long shot.
