Many white men strongly resent and oppose affirmative action policies due to their fear of loss of power brought about by the major shift of expectations in the workplace and in schools which lessens males' privileges, requiring them to share their positions with other men and women of color. Even so, they are encouraged to support affirmative action by exhibiting model behavior.Citation DetailsTitle: White men and affirmative action: a conversation.
