Some Reading Help on Gonzelez
Just finished reading Johan Goldberg's latest article ( http://www.townhall.com/columnists/jonahgoldberg/jg20050713.shtml )and I wanted to see if I read this passage right.

The more comprehensive problem with Gonzales is that he's a beneficiary of what we could call the Friends and Hispanics network. This isn't to say that he's not bright and capable. But he owes the bulk of his public career to two things: George W. Bush and his impressive personal story as a child of poor Mexican immigrants. There's nothing terrible about either of those things, but there's every reason to believe that Gonzales has internalized the logic of affirmative action. As White House counsel, it's been widely reported, he was one of the chief voices arguing for a softer approach to affirmative action.

What does "internalizing the logic of affirmative action mean?" I mean it sounds a lot like, well, being a minority or knowing that minorities often don't get a fair break in the US.
