There's another valid point in there about the hypocrisy of the wealthy liberal. Society is plagued by "liberal" people in power who don't actually do anything to help the less fortunate and institute a variety of policies aimed at preserving their own wealth.
This does tie back into the argument about affirmative action. It's not the wealthy person's son who is losing their spot to the one now reserved for a visible minority, it's the poor white person who doesn't have all the family connections. The poor lose one of the few avenues they had for advancement, and the minority groups get a few low level positions reserved for them. The only people who win are the people already winning. What these policies do result in is poor white people being pitted against minorities. It's divide and conquer.
At the root of the problem is that the liberal parties have been hijacked by the wealthy and established. Why are the Justin Trudeaus and Hillary Clintons winning party leaderships. Are these the most qualified people in their countries, or are they just the most connected.
