I think you're right. Years back if you were female or a different race or gay you were just shunned out of certain positions and studies. At least some gays could pass. Look up Alan Turing and his accomplishments.
The blood bank was a creation of a black man. There are lists of black inventors on the net.
There are many middle class black families in this country, and some who are quite wealthy. Our society seems to be just starting to be equal in opportunities for these people. I worked with some very smart and hard working black people.
Some elements of this country, probably because of what makes the daily news stories, seem to equate all blacks to what we find in bad neighborhoods, but those people have problems and live in troubled areas which breed crime and violence and stupidity.
If you had the opportunity to form a discussion with a middle class black you'd find that he wants pretty much what you do out of life.
Is it normal i feel this way about "diversity"
