My point is, if you want a certain minority to reach the top level, then you need a large enough pool of that certain minority advancing through the ranks.

If your favorite minority is blacks, then I am not informed. I have not seen a count that anyone has made.

We have a certain minority here that I have not seen do HS varsity games. But when I try to think of that minority doing subvarsity games, I can think of only 1 in our area and that person is moving up the ranks by doing a good job. However, there certainly is not a pool of any sort to choose from when assigning varsity games. Is that discrimination? And is everyone, regardless of minority status or majority status, qualified to work at the highest level?
