3 pages in length. The American white race has always been afforded the benefits of affirmative action, which has not set well with those of other ethnic backgrounds. Without having been formally established, this unwritten Caucasian preference has not only established a significant separation between and among the races, but it has also created deep-seated resentment from the African-American point of view.
