So you are saying that the shops of Beverly Hills are more valuable than those owned by Korean Americans, and should be protected first. I said they are more economically valuable. If no one was in danger of getting hurt and you could stop one shop from getting destroyed it would make sense to prevent the more valuable shop from getting destroyed. Of course that goes out the window in this case because people's lives where in danger. Also if you read my post carefully you would have noticed that I said "It might be a good argument for better police protection for poor people", in fact I would go further and say it IS a good argument for better police protection. It is not however an effective argument for affirmative action. 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. Leaving aside the ad-hominem - If people are biased they probably wont institute the affirmative action programs that you support unless they are required to do so. Do you support pushing affirmative action on unwilling businesses, schools, and individuals by force of law? Tim
