When Obama became president we had an interesting discussion at work. Did his election mean the end of political correctness? Did the ability of a visible minority from a troubled Chicago community to attain the rank of President register null and void any and all arguments for affirmative action, and workplace legislations enforcing diversity? It seemed to me that the case for giving the disadvantaged of the world a government mandated edge to level the playing field has been broken.
Obama's election seems to prove that anyone, from any background, can achieve anything they desire, provided they have the will and the drive. Regardless of perceived social barriers or not.
I'd forgotten about our discussions until I read this article tonight.
