Affirmative Action in the USA.

[Sir Degrader]

black people in California? I never would have guessed! "Brown" skinned people are considered east asian ,middle eastern or hispanic in my school not black so I guess in the case of the AA, and Jonha's article, the people were misindetified (at least by my school's standards) Still basing one's entire argument on whether black people come from Bali instead of the point is...strange to say the least.

At dawn suh, at dawn. Now I say, I do say, is that mince meat pah?

Honestly, my logic is, take the best applicant for the job. Cut the slice equal? Find a computer, insert the numbers, and have it randomly pick a number using a 10-stage operator formula. Why 10? Because 9 isn't enough and 11 is too many, that's why! Besides you can say, "but our statistical model used 10 operators in the random determination!"

Then there's always personal interviews, which can establish in detail the applicant's personality, their sensibility, and their capabilties for the job on more mundane levels.

ROFLOLWP Just how many times don't you think I have been to California dude? [img]smile.gif[/img]

And if the correct answer had been nil instead of you needing four of the five fingers of your right hand to count it, I will still trump your statement by saying that they are a lighter tan than you will see on your average episode of Bay Watch [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Sir Degrader - you are right and you are wrong - I am not distracting the issue. I made my views clear on the topic in my first and only post which was on topic. My other posts object to the contention that the writer said Bali so black people must come from Bali. That is a falsity, and from my point of view it has been interesting to see that Ray chose to dig in and defend somthing like that rather than throw away the obvious crumb of "hmm - could be a typo - couldn't it". The deeper he digs his hole on that point the more inclined I am to want to correct him.

Lastly - Ray - there is no bad blood at all dude - to pinch an American phrase "We Good".

And my last word on the topic is "MALI"
