nevertheless... every 3rd male in MIA metro area is a Cuban... I'd think there was a 1/2 dozen or more at a typical HS..

I agree that racial AA is broken however, and that we should re-visit it.

For example, a Hawaiian person who arguably would have no problem being hired in terms of discrimination gets to check off a "minority box" while a dark skinned arab american (forget Muslim, could be a Christian), is to be listed as "White Caucasian" ..

And another favorite of mine is the 1/8 American Indian guy who's got blonde hair and blue eyes, but his great, great grandfather raped an Indian woman during the wars out west and now he's a "minority".

I tell you, the best solution is financial assistance in the early/formative years to get minorities exposed to the career field (those who are so inclined) is the best solution, and the hiring then to be done strictly on merit (with tie breakers being at the discretion of the HR dept).

that's where I stand.
