This is why so many white-centric right wing groups very much want affirmative action abolished, because it is a massive advantage to the politically powerful and connected, who are mostly white in America.

Lets just say its hardly like they are out for justice for all races...

"Politically powerful" are obviously mostly white because the population of the US is mostly white.

There is about 10% of black reps in the House which is well in line with the overall population.

And we also just have had a black president.
