Maybe, maybe not. There is a bit of irony. It's ironic, after being raised to believe that people should be judged on merit rather than skin color or gender, to see people defending the idea that skin color should be considered when making officiating assignments. I'm not saying the idea doesn't have any merit, but the irony is there.

Just as it doesn't do any good for me to deny the merits of the assignment practice in question, it doesn't do any good to discount the irony, either.

tomegun is right, I don't understand. I'm trying, but sometimes the irony is easier to see. I'll just say this, responding with "you have no right to question" is counter-productive to the discussion.

I've seen shades of it in this discussion, but not enough to ruin a very good discussion on a very difficult issue.
