Affirmative action

...

Oprah: Michelle became what she was by affirmative action. Hillary got where she was with the help of Bill.

Eva: No way. Michelle and Hillary got there by climbing obstacles. They had to run in the outside lane.

Oprah: You don’t think they got even a little boost from AA and Bill?

Eva: Look, AA and Bill wouldn’t have been the slightest good if they hadn’t had what it takes.

Oprah: So is it time to scrap affirmative action? Like they have in Colorado, and Nebraska?

Eva: May be a little early. Despite the exceptions of the Obamas and Hillary Clinton, there are still plenty of poor and disadvantaged who could use a little AA.

Oprah: Like white males?

Eva: For them we’ll need an amendment specifying competence disorder.
