Stop giving (some) minorities unearned (and immoral) advantages and the issue of Blair's race goes away. It is a fact that minorities with lower test scores/grades than whites/asians get accepted to schools due to affirmative racism. Same is true in hiring. The issue in this article is that some poverty pimp is going to be out of a job if he/she admits to the facts. Legal and societal racism in the US is minimal. The failure of minorities (and particularly American born blacks) to achieve is CULTURAL and self-inflicted. This is well documented and it is not racist to point out facts.
