WHITES 'MARGINALIZED' BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Non-Hispanic whites stung by 'State-Sponsored Racism'

Sen. James Webb, D-Va., , a highly decorated Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, has been very critical of Affirmative Action.
　
In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, "Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege," Sen. Webb charged that affirmative action has ‘marginalized’ white workers. Here is what the Virginia Democrat wrote:
　
"Forty years ago, as the United States experienced the civil rights movement, the supposed monolith of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant dominance served as the whipping post for almost every debate about power and status in America. After a full generation of such debate, WASP elites have fallen by the wayside and a plethora of government-enforced diversity policies have marginalized many white workers."
　
Previously, Webb had written in a 2000 Wall Street Journal book review that affirmative action "has within one generation brought about a permeating state-sponsored racism that is as odious as the Jim Crow laws it sought to countermand."
　
I might add that quite a few whites applying for admission to our nation’s universities have also been marginalized by affirmative action programs designed to achieve diversity.
