I admit that it bothered me a little bit when Vanilla Ice won the Grammy for best rap album, but not enough for me to stop listening to the music. If you in fact believe that all pilots should meet the minimums, I support you 100%. Do something about it, or feel sorry for the "poor white man." Just don't tell me how easy I've had it, and I'll do the same for you.
You know this kinda sounds alot like Bush calling OBOMA, "Articulate" That just threw everybody into a rage, it was a compliment for christsake, maybe the people you flew with where curious as to where you got your experience!!!!!!!!!!!! I get asked all the time, wow how where you able to fly at such a young age, etc........... If I was African American would that?should that offend me? I dunno Its hard to say on my end becuase I am a white male, not to go on a rant, but my best friend, whom is Puerto Rican, whom we grew up together came form the same middle class family, etc... well I had better grades, and a higher SAT score, he got into RUTGERS COLLEGE I however did not,??? Is that fair??????????
