Not to mention a cheat or a bully.
If you're a Mediocre jerk who "made it on Nepotism or patronage", beating out people who were more qualified and harder working than you were, you should still apologize.
Never had to apologize for being white. I'm not a pissy jerk who has to be the top dawg all the time.

I have felt I needed to apologize for the system that favored Whites when I stepped up to speak for another person of a different race who was more qualified, but not being heard or paid attention to.
