Economics of Discrimination

We had an economics professor (Dr.xxxx) deliver us a guest lecture on economics of discrimination. He spoke about how the white males had dominated the United States during his generation (he is around 60 yrs old..so shud be a baby boomer) and how opportunities were denied for the blacks and Hispanics.

And then we discussed about the affirmative action policies and about how the white males are now in the receiving end. Dr.xxxx said, " I feel bad when I see my grandson struggle. We didn't have to go through this when we were young. But, yeah.. we got too many benefits. So you guys need to pay a price for that".

And Michael, my friend responds.." Dr.xxxx, then why don't you give us ur social security??"
