Fourth, Pitts once again ducks the issue by spewing smoke. The issue is whether, given that certain of the black medical staff who might have treated his wife were admitted to medical school on the basis of affirmative action with substantially lower average grades than the white staff who might have treated for his wife, is the position taken by the man irrational? A similar argument could have been made that it would be best to go to a black doctor back when there was widespread discrimination against black people. In neither case do I think it is reasonable to make a fuss at the hospital, but if the special benefits where much greater then it might be reasonable. Tim
