Weasel will become famous soon enough
I'm just waiting for the day (that may never come) when people will be hired/recruited etc. for only their qualifications and race/color will have absolutely nothing to do with it. I know programs like NAACP and equal opportunity programs etc. were absolutely needed in the past for a big leg up, but when should we all get past the leg up and over the fence? I think the biggest thing that holds the minorities back is how they keep themselves known as a separate group and push for rights for that group vs work on personal advancement and qualifications.

I can't go to work and say "that black guy and that Asian guy are making more than me and have been here less time, that ain't fair give me a raise"... I have to be proactive and do my training and earn my raise with capabilities and credentials/training.

You think professional is expensive, just wait until you pay for amateur.

Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
