SAFETY AND SECURITY COME SECOND

Because, as you know, its the color of your skin, not the content of your character that matters.

The Annapolis Naval Academy is now instituting a "diversity" program to enforce equality of results over equality of performance. Ace of Spades puts it nicely:

...I would have hoped that turning out the best Naval officers possible would have been the number one priority. Pardon me for assuming that you might have an interest in our country's security rather than a bizarre fixation on the hue of a cadet's skin. WTF? Well it's a well-known fact that a wise Latina officer will most likely make a better commander than a fluorescent, white boy from the Midwest. The article discusses the much lower standards required for minorities to gain admission to the Academy. We are actually putting all those minority sailors who they are trying to model their officer corps after at risk by denying them the best possible leadership. What a disgraceful, un-American thing to do.

Of course, being un-American is what all the cool, smart people are into. Racism is hip now.
