exploring a world in which white men receive an
undeniable privilege — an advantage over other
races in every issue from hiring by white employ
ers to being overlooked by police who seek mem
bers of other races as potential violators of laws.
Jensen shared testimony he has received from
minorities. Jensen talked about a Hispanic man
who joined what he thought was a color-blind fra
ternity. After a night of drinking, one of his white
fraternity brothers turned to him and said, “I nev
er figured out why you were in college anyway,
since you’re going to go back to picking beans.”
Jensen told another story about an African-
American man who was consistently stopped by
police in his own neighborhood who did not seem
to believe that a black man could drive a nice car
and live in a nice area. Jensen said this story af
firmed his belief that certain privileges do exist.
Rice, an African-American who first entered
college at the advent of affirmative action, said he
knows that his efforts to make the grade, graduate
and continue through graduate studies were not the
result of any program, but rather the result of his
hard work to succeed.
The U.S. District Court for the Western District
of Texas ruled in March 1998 in the Hopwood vs.
Texas case that affirmative action is unconstitution
al. However, many public universities within the
state have initiated other incentives for admission,
such as the Top 10 Percent rule, in which
in the top 10 percent of their high school
ceive automatic admission into a public!
The automatic admission embrace
qualified students of any race, Jensene:
many things, whites are given a privily
because it is the predominate race in
“I’m free to ask questions of affirmative!
I'm free to ask the questions that other
Jensen said, noting that an affluent,educai
male discussing affirmative action
whites more than an African-Americanasl
same question. “An author once gaveaw
statement, talking about the joy and thek|
being human. And that’s what 1 think
when we talk about race.”
