If I'd been born with black skin I may have been able to get into Harvard or other top drawer university or college with mediocre grades and a low SAT score under Affirmative Action. I would have been coached on tests and given answers ahead of time so I could pass.
I might even have obtained a full ride in graduate school as a "foreign student".
And I may have been sought out by employers and given much higher salaries than my counterparts and only had to show up on paydays to collect my paychecks, never really doing any work due to affirmative actions type quotas. I would be literally unfirable.
As a white I saw all of the above happen and more than once.
