After reading through this thread and the previous ones, I guess I'm wondering, why does have race matter (in both directions)?

If black, white, hispanic, asian, etc officials are being held back due to their race, then that isn't right and it should be addressed. The officials that do the best should be the ones to advance but obviously, there are many factors that come into play when we look at the preferences and prejudices of supervisors. It is an ideal but why not work towards it?

Me personally, I don't care if my partner is black, white, asian, hispanic, blue or purple...I just care they can do a good job.
