No, the problem is that in a list of eleven points, you pick one to make a fuss about - alledging that the original poster said them being white was a bad thing.

It was in a list including "two degrees" (good) and "burned out twice in 6 months" (bad). Why do you take away that he said white is bad?

Why do you have an issue with skin colour being mentioned, but not age or gender or which college the degrees were from or how many hours they work or which specific tech they use? Why are you pushing so hard to make a great big racial controversy out it?




The list _delirium and I are referring to is this one of 4 items:

    All three appear to be single white 20something males
I am in fact pretty nearly as bothered by the claim that it's a problem that all 3 are male, or in their 20s.

It's lame when someone writes off a group of people based on such superficial characteristics.
