Maybe be Irpalmer3 is not saying that, but I am saying that. Race is not different than where you live, what conference you normally work, who has ties to a school and any number of situations that can play apart in assigning. It helps to make the complainers shut up because they have official that are of a certain race on the game, then put them on the game. You can always see what race someone is, you might not know someone lives in a certain town or has a relative that goes to one of the schools. This is no different than assignors that hire guys based on their resume, because they cannot say someone was not experienced enough to work a big game.
