Very valid point. If AA is necessary for anything, I'd say that that's
it. The fact that "birds of a feather..." and all is a very significant
aspect of human behavior that also makes folks tend to judge the achievements
and the methods of others by their own standards of behavior. Although
there are people that dearly love to claim that the other guy is "evil"
and "greedy", the fact of the matter is that white males have done a
pretty damn good job of cornering a lot of markets and professions. And
that fact that puts them in the majority in these areas is, as two-edged
swords go, a definite pitfall in their dealings with other groups, just
as other groups would experience if the concentrations were reversed.
