Had an uncle in the Seattle Fire Department years ago who consistenly scored in the top five on all promotional tests (which were ALL about management, strategies and firefighting skills).

But, time after time, he was passed over for a less qualified minority/female applicant, who had usually scored somewhere in the 60th percentile. Sure made me feel safer knowing that people who could barely pass the exams were in charge if I ever had an emergency - NOT

Isn’t this kind of case what got the “wise Latina” in so much trouble? And didn’t the Supremes knock down her ruling 9-0?

Discrimination is discrimination folks - doesn’t matter which way it goes!

Thats how Moochie got into Harvard Law with a C Average.

A white or Asian can't get into any law School with a C average
