Here is the thing. Many haven't because they see things like AA that is nothing more than reverse discrimination pushing the inept up and giving them chances that they don't have. They aren't going to feel good about that. I didn't get the job I wanted because a minority got it because the company might have had to meet the quota. How do you convince them to get over that? Japan and the sports groups are a shining example. Black people and the Japs have thrived. Slowly but surely. Nobody can doubt them today. Do you think you can walk up to a professional athelete and say "If it wasn't for AA you would not be here."? Tell the Japs "You make junk cars.". If you want to do that, stand back and wait for the laughter. OTOH, maybe they are too busy doing what they do best to bother to laugh at you. Sure, it took time but they achieved what they achieved because of their work. That is something nobody can deny. I can say that I don't want to buy a Jap car because my father was killed by Japs but there is no way I can say they make crap. Not when the Big 2.5 are in troube because of them. Those are solid gains they can take pride in and hold their head up high.
