No more misplaced that then games with predominantly white athletes get mostly to all white officials. What you are defending is affirmative action. Which I think is a bunch of baloney.

For the record I am not white, nor am I black or Hispanic. Its like saying that being a Black, female, and gay is hitting the genetic jackpot in officiating.

If the deciding factor over who gets selected is race/ethnicity/gender then that's just hog wash. I would like all qualified officials to be entered into a lottery and 3 names selected at random, and 1 for the alternative. However large that pool be is up to the deciding bodies. But it's not more short sighted and/or misplaced then going overboard with ones new found freedom/equality at the expense of exactly what they were fighting in the first place.
