If you really want to make a lot of money, hook up with a bunch of white guys starting a business. They can put you running the business and get minority business status. Of course there are much more ethical ways to take advantage of AA. Like starting your *own* business. Did you realise that if you started your own business you get an automatic 10% advantage on government contract bids? just because the business is "minority owned or operated". On the other hand, there is no Affirmative Action in dating and no tax break for short guys. -- sunbird sunbird@cyberramp.net
