No matter which side you talk to, the results of 209 have been evident for some time.

Every time, on every issue, when the Left does not get its way, it screams "racism", "sexism", or perhaps "Halliburton". Pay no attention to the irrelevancy. Racial bean counting is on its way out in this country. The Left is trying desperately to keep it, but it's dying. Remember, adults now in their 40s grew up after the civil rights era. Younger adults in their 30s look at it as ancient history. It never affected them, and they have no memory of legal segregation. They aren't interested in the vicimology of the 1960s. The Left is stuck forever in 1968. The "third world", "revolution", "racism", "sexism", "women's rights"...all of these are from an era long past. The country has moved on. The young Leftists of today understand none of this. They use these words as a weapon against the mainstream, figuring that since THEY are terrified of these words, then everyone ELSE is, too. Well, we're not. And that, above all, terrifies the Left. We refuse to be guilty of non-crimes and refuse to apologize for a past we didn't create. Just an aside, I was in grad school at Cal in the 1980s. It was the same then. Have fun while you're here and move on. Stuck in the past is a Leftie trip, don't make it yours. Don’t worry about it.

Prop 209 still has not been turned over, but unfortunately, a liberal activist judge overturned 187. Eitherway, I digress to my point. This political correctness of we have to help the "minorities" out of their so-called rut stinks of racism to me. It's like saying: "Here, you can't do it yourself, so have a handout." Honestly, political correctness is the new racism and the Left loves to embrace it. Typical Politically Correct Lefty: "'We' (we being anglo-liberals) have to teach 'them', (them being minorities) how to act and give 'them' a handout so they can make it in the world." just stinks of racism. It's like saying, because you are black/yellow/red/brown/purple with green polka-dots, because you are that particular color, you can't make it on your own. I think its disgusting and totally dehumanizes them. The Great White Mother/Father and Lord Jim crap HAS to stop. If people don't learn how to handle their affairs on their own, how are they ever gonna learn? *waits for the jeers of "RACIST! RACIST!" and "BIGOT! BIGOT!"* Prop 209 and Prop 187 were godsends for California. Prop 209 still has not been turned over, but unfortunately, a liberal activist judge overturned 187. Eitherway, I digress to my point.

In California, skin color is irrelevant. There is nothing to discuss. Obey the law or resign your position.
