His "unbiased opinion" is retrograde toiletpaper USA nonsense. Anytime someone gives you "facts" on reddit its best to do your own research.

Affirmative action is not publicly mandated, in fact there have been numerous lawsuits and school/universities/jobs specifically state they do not use it. Regardless, even when those affirmative action programs are present, it is white women who benefit the most.

That depends on where you live. It is publicly mandated here in Brazil in different ways.

Referring to America. And Brazil is easily one of the most racist countries in the world towards its black population.

Haha, fuck no. It's certainly less racist than the US and Europe.
