What you call "crying about lack of opportunity" others see as expressions of legitimate concerns.
The "expressions of legitimate concerns" is the right, if not duty, of every thinking person. The difference lies in if they are expressing these concerns while working to improve their lot or while waiting for someone else (gumint?) to do it for them.

aside- From what I've seen the best shot at equal treatment for minorities and women is through labor unions. While not perfect, because they are run by people, Unions are small enough organizations that if you feel you're not being treated fairly you can interact personally with the leadership. The Union keeps the Company from abusing you (at least abusing you more than others) and if the Union is abusing you, both the Company and the Feds are willing to step in on your behalf. I don't want to derail this thread so if you have a beef with unions please start a new thread.
