Ted Re...You were suggesting that AA was dumbing down our colleges, resulting in a shortage of qualified people........and that explained why work was being shipped to other countries like the Phillipines or India. I suggested that the work was being shipped to those countries because wages are cheaper. D. Ray affirmed that conclusion with his post.

LOL Well, aren't you getting tired of tripping yourself up? For the last two wks, you have maintained that companies hired whitey, not blacks because of racism, not economics. Now when presented with evidence that companies are hiring minorities, not whitey, you now claim that companies hire because of economics, not racism. That has been my point all along. Its all about economics, period. Yes, AA programs do dumb down entrants, so it will be tougher for grads at dumbed down schools to get accepted. But the main point is that it is economics which drive companies to hire who they hire, not racism.
