Finally...

I came upon the mention of this case on a Russian newsfeed:
New Haven firefighters get $2 million in bias case. It seems that finally they started to acknowledge that racism is not confined to white people (just look how many people from India would scream: "I hate niggers!" on the Internet).

Personally I think that all these quotas based on sex, race or whatever else are just plain stupid. If these firefighters really deserved it (as tests seem to have demonstrated back in 2004), they were entitled to that promotion. Cancelling the test results because most of them happened to be white is just plain stupid. If the non-whites are not as educated as white people – well, start from the goddamn schools and teach them something so they can get better jobs. Improve access to the colleges for people with lower incomes. As it seems to work now, not being white heterosexual man is considered as a virtue in itself, which is not true. People are not equal, never were and never will be. Enforcing racial or any other quotas will not make them equal, period. What is needed, then? Just equal opportunities. People must know that if they are the best for that job, they'll get it regardless of their sex, race or sexual orientation and without any bureaucrat telling them that they failed by being white (or black, or whatever).
