Thought experiment time!

"The US Department of Labor Federal Contract Compliance Programs office examined 4,179 companies as of 1994. They found three quarters to be violating federal regulations by not recruiting widely, by openly discriminating in hiring or by not having an affirmative action plan" Feagin, Racist America p. 160 Note they don't say how many of those with plans actually use or enforce them.

"In the hiring process, black workers are less likely to obtain jobs than whites with equivalent credentials. Several studies have shown that, when both white and black applicants get interviewed, more white applicants get job offers. Between 1989 and 1992, several studies of employment discrimination were conducted by the Fair Employment Council of Washington DC and the Urban institute...47 percent of the white applicants got a job offer compared to just 11 percent of the black applicants"

Feagin, Racist America p. 160 The portion within the ellipsis described how many black testers were discriminated against.

"Indeed, today many whites believe that they are likely to be victims of governmental policies helping black Americans. One recent Pennsylvania survey asked a question as to how likely it would be that a white worker might lose a job or a promotion to a less qualified black worker. Most black respondents(57 percent) thought this was unlikely, while most whites (80 percent) thought it was likely. National polls using such a question have gotten similar responses: the majority of whites seem convinced that anti white discrimination is commonplace"

Feagin, Racist America p. 127

Using these three passages, come up with an explanation as to why some blacks may have negative views of whites complaining about affirmative action. For bonus, why would whites have views that differ from objective reality?
