"if we are to allow for an "overrepresentation" of Asians and a proportional representation of every other race, then the only race which wouldn't be represented in proportion would be whites - unless we were to take away spots equally from all races in order to account for the "overrepresentation" of Asians - and that might be considered a blow to other minorities - so where does that leave us?"

Living in Texas, I hear a lot of complaining about AA. A LOT.

Recently I heard a lot of griping about sports. An issue that kept coming up during all the McNabb controversy after Rush's comments was the small number of black head coaches. Callers said things like, 'when we have an equal number of white players on the field, then we'll have an equal number of black coaches on the sidelines', and 'why is it acceptable to believe blacks are just 'better at' sports, but we can't accept that whites are 'better at' anything'.

I don't know what the answer is, but we need to address these complaints directly and straightforwardly, because from what I can tell there are people here in the South that would vote Dem if it wasn't for race issues!
