[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5036429, member: 24302"] We really don't apportion according to population size. It's individual merit. In spite of what bbsam thinks blacks have excellent opportunities if they do the work because many companies want to give them a chance just to prove they are forward thinking. Heck blacks with lower test scores are getting into Ivy League schools, bumping out whites and Asians with much higher scores because universities want to show how diverse and inclusive they are. I worked with a great black guy in New Mexico who asked me what I thought about him possibly getting on with the Border Patrol and having a much higher chance of getting hired because he was black. I said it's tough enough getting a decent job anywhere so if they give him the opportunity he should grab it and not feel guilty about it. Whoever you are you work with what's available and make the most of it. If others resent it that's their problem. [/QUOTE]
