I don't see how the fact that police worked harder to protect a high property value area then a low property value area is a good argument for affirmative action. It might be a good argument for better police protection for poor people, but I don't think its a good argument for affirmative action in the police force, and I can't see how it can possibly be a good argument for affirmative action in general. Tim, let me see. The LAPD went and helped the Sheriffs Dept fight off rioters from Beverly Hills while parts of LA were burning. So you are saying that the shops of Beverly Hills are more valuable than those owned by Korean Americans, and should be protected first. Does it matter that the Korean American shop owners pay taxes to the city in order to get protection by the LAPD but that Beverly Hills does not? Sorry but I can't agree with your perspective. The intent of my post was to suggest there are strong biases in our society...and it appears that you just gave credence to that notion. ted
