However, I oppose capriciously eliminating qualified applicants because too many white people applied. Democracy is crazy. Why should this panel roughly match state demographics? Like most people in California I descend from hispanic immigrants, but this still makes no sense to me. Maybe there are more hispanic qualified candidates, and, therefore, there should be more on this panel, and maybe there are less. The same holds true for the White and black population. Telling a qualified white guy he can’t serve because there are too many white applicants = You can’t serve because your white, and that tantamounts to racisim. It’s also insulting because it assumes different races cannot possibly treat each other fairly. This is just stupid, like everything else in modern American society…completely stupid. I wonder what would happen if the military picked generals using this retarded method? Democracy’s shelf life has expired.
