What are we doing. after all. but making our institutions better. Including the best of every group. painting the gorgeous mosaic. that makes America what it is. The assault on affirmative action is only the tip of the iceberg in what is clearly a broad campaign of scapegoating. The focus is now on AfricanAmericans. but it Is expanding to include other minorities. the poor and immigrants. This is a campaign that began in the last election. where the principle themes were crime and welfare. These appeals were not so blatant as the infamous Willie Horton ads in the first Bush campaign. but the objective was the same.
