But then people will say he only won it because he was black, thus detracting from any achievement. This is the fallacy of what is called "Positive Discrimination"

People should get somewhere on merit alone, not because of some PC agenda which does more harm than good.

On the highlights show, Carole told Brian she wanted him to win as there had never been a black winner on Big Brother.

Brian to his credit said a person should win because they are a good housemate not because of their colour.

This is exactly the case against positive discrimination or affirmative action.

I am sorry, but what is that going to prove? And Brian shouldn't win because of his skin colour. I am sure he is one of the favourites because of his personality and qualities as a HM.
