Don't Go Crying Racism Just Yet

Acidman had a post a few days ago about the lack of special forces guys that are black. (Go catch up on your required reading...I'll wait).
Anyhow - my comment on that subject pointed to self selection. IMHO, it is free will keeping us from seeing greater diversity. It's as simple as people choosing to avoid that line of work. And Fox news has a link that agrees with me.
So can people quit tossing out the race card? You're using up its legitimacy and hurting people who have a genuine racist experience. Have some common sense and use a little forethought. Thinking about the consequences of your actions BEFORE HAND isn't too much to ask...is it?
