#7  This has had no coverage by the news media and has large implications.

Yawn. That's an earth shaker. What's new? The MSM is radical left just like Bummer. Both are failures. The MSM is more interested in Lindsay Lohan's latest drunk escapade and court appearance or where Lebron James is going to end up.

#5  If that is the case, then the logical conclusion is...its a game of shoots and ladders.

#4  How much ya want to bet that Asians don't get counted as a "minority" either?

#3  Especially because quite possibley double "minority" candidates (ie: a minority not caucasian and female) will get preference.


After all, according to the census all caucasians are lumped under "white." Meanwhile, there are many categories on the census for anyone hailing from darker extraction. It is going to be completely stacked in non-whites favor.

#2  Detroit hairdresser works all her life to someday fulfill her dream of having her own salon. She finally has enough of an established clientele and reputation to strike out on her own. A suitable place becomes available to her. She goes to the bank to get a loan to get herself set up in business but hears:

I am sorry, we have met our quota of loans to black people. We can't give you a loan. Maybe if you know a white person we can give a loan to, we can lend to you.

This is institutionalizing racism. Life is not "fair". To attempt to legislate and regulate "fairness" is dumb. We work all our lives in many cases to get an "unfair" advantage over our peers by working harder, learning more, becoming more competent than the person next to us. Then to be denied a chance because "we have enough people of your color" is just plain wrong.

It is not "fair" at all.
