Letters to the Editor
(03/06/02 6:00am)
I can't help but be disheartened by the renewed attack against affirmative action expressed in both recent editorials and full-page ads in the newspapers. As a white male, I have never felt any bitterness towards affirmative action policies, and I applaud any effort made at promoting minority representation. One need only look around the UW-Madison campus to see that whatever affirmative action policy UW-Madison uses, it is not a very effective one: This is, after all, the least diverse campus in the Big Ten. If a white male has trouble getting into UW-Madison, he should blame himself and not affirmative action. What you fail to mention is that by using the word \minority"" and not the words ""African American,"" which you imply, you can include women into that category and, in fact, contrary to public perception, the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action are white women, not African Americans. But no one would ever suggest that a policy that looks kindly towards female admission is somehow unfair. This only serves to illustrate the regression in race relations this country is experiencing in recent years. It's too bad a progressive campus like Madison's can't be a little more open minded.
