Then I'll repeat my earlier point.
It's always just a happy coincidence when institutions favor whites and 
their opinions isn't it?
I think the danger of ignoring the racism right under your nose while 
employing your rhetoric is a far bigger danger.
But then again I'm not white so I can't see things as objectively as 
whites can.
