<p>How come nobody complains about nepotist practices and the obvious advantages Whites have with that (especially in corporate America). Is it fair that some people have an inherent advantage because their dad is the CEO is a huge corporation? Of course not. But as I found out during an internship at a major corporation, interns that weren’t necessarily qualified got positions solely based on who they knew. Not surprisingly, the people they knew also happened to usually be White and were of the Director level or higher. This is proof that affirmative action is still needed, as minorities just don’t have the sort of opportunities or the connections that their White counterparts have. They also are not represented in the upper echelon of the corporate hierarchy like Whites are, thus they are at a gross disadvantage.</p>
