Bot, I enjoyed reading your post.

A couple of years ago my son and I were discussing TV programs. He mentioned how it ridiculous it was for the show Friends not to feauture one single black, or Puerto Rican--this for a show that supposedly took place in NY.

Same is true for Seinfeld.

Then we talked about TV commercials, mostly from car companies and food companies (like Mickey Dees). We talked about how few commercials show blacks and whites and Hispanics mingling together in happy harmony.

And talking about harmony, how about those commercials for EHarmony (or whatever that dating service is called). Not a single mixed-race couple!!!

In the county where I practice law there is only one Black judge and only one Hispanic judge. Clearly their numbers are vastly underepresented!

The Great Society has been a great disappointment in so many ways.

I blame government for trying to shove things down peoples' throats. I can tell you that, form a personal POV, as an educated Hispanic male, Affirmative Action has been more of a burden than a benefit.

I got into a good college based on my good high school record. I got into a good law school based on my good college record. Still, I have to spend time and effort proving to others that I am "good" and not just a product of Affirmative Action!

Damn.
