This may be anecdotal, but these arguments seem to flourish on anecdotal 
evidence rather than facts and figures. I am a member of that species 
that is supposedly so discriminated against: a WMOF (White Male Over 
Forty). I got a job at a university--of all places--where the white male 
is supposedly discriminated against the most. On the day I was hired, two 
other white males were also hired. Doesn't look much like WMs are being 
discriminated against, at least not at UBC.

BTW, I am no particular fan of hiring quotas nor am I particularly 
ashamed, or proud, of being white, or male. What I am (sort of) proud of, 
in these days of extremism, political correctness and political agendas, 
is that I am pretty much agenda-free. I wish more people were the same way.
