And I want an answer to my question, and a pony, neither or which it appears I will get.
I worked in the government for a while. When I did, I was involved in hiring. There was a process and I played my little part in it, and I'd like to think my input was better than average, but it's a process that historically resulting in a pretty white workforce in my agency, and I didn't do anything to change that. You can characterize that as an act or as an omission, and you can bicker about my state of mind, but at the end of the day you have an institution which has pretty much always hired fewer ethnic minorities than it should, and I played my part in perpetuating that.
OK, now you answer my questions.
