I too have seen this email several times, but unlike most of the people here, I agree with all the statements made in it. And just for the record I'm not a racest. Over 20 years in the military made me color blind. I personally believe that every individual should be considered on their own merits.
It always amazes me when I hear people complain about comments, such as those in the email. But they are usually very quick to contradict their statements when one of those situations effect them directly.
Wait until one of their children isn't accepted to college specifically because of a quota. Let their business go bankrupt because they can't compete with a competitor because that competitor is receiving govt subsidies because of their race. Let them explain to their children why a neighbor can afford to get their kid a new bike, and you can't simply because that next door neighbor is receiving "refugee disbursements of $2080.00 a month from the Govt." When you work at the same place for the same money as their father. As happens to Cubans, and many other immigrants in America. Or try being a police officer responding to an emergency in a neighborhood where many of the residents can't speak english. Or being a civil servant in LA and told that you can't have a cost of living raise again this year because all the state documents had to be printed in 8 different languages, and 34 new bilingual employees had to be hired at the drivers lisc offices to handle giving driving tests in foreign languages. I've seen these over and over... And it just irritates me.
