What the heck! Why should minorities have preferential treatment? The US is equal. Asians do better than whites, which proves there is no racism.
If whites say they are affected more than Asians and need special treatment, there would be outrage.
If you want equality, do not expect special treatment, period!

Whats next - the Congressional Black Caucus is going to start saying Barack isnt black enough?If you ask me, these people missed a good opportunity to shut up. My message:Take one for the entire progressive team ALL OVER THE WORLD, and stop thinking about your own damn communities for once.

Are blacks a minority in America? It looks pretty even across the board between blacks, whites, and Latino...

When you make checks (promises) that one cannot cash people get upset. =Make few promises and deliver more than what people expect.
This Black Caucus is right about home loans and re-establishing mortage rates -alot was said and little was done. People are upset and wonder why they gave the banks 1T$ to only get a slap in the face. Even worse was established bank lines of credit and credit cards.

Eerrr... what?
Come again? How doest 13% not constitute a minority? Hispanics, similarly come in at 13% or so, depending on how you classify "white hispanics". Other non-white ethnic groups don't come close.
