I am not usually into quotas but thought this was an interesting article. Not sure what to make of it yet though. I hate seeing jobs broken into race.

A quick look at the demographic breakdown of the federal payroll shows that “diversity” goals have been more than met. According to the Office of Personnel Management, federal employees in fiscal 2010 were 66.2 percent white, 17.7 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic, 5.6 percent Asian and Pacific Islander and 1.8 percent American Indian. Compared to the general U.S. population, the federal force is a bit too diverse. Blacks are overrepresented by 6.9 percent compared to the civilian work force, Asians and Pacific Islanders by 1.2 percent, and American Indians are more than double their proportion of the population at large. White Americans, who make up about 70 percent of the work force, are underrepresented by around 4 percent. Hispanics are also underrepresented despite the Clinton-era executive order 13171, “Hispanic Employment in the Federal Government.”

I wonder how many of those white folks are homosexuals? John Berry is the Federal Government’s Chief People Person (HE's A HOMOSEXUAL). As the Director of the United States Office of Personnel Management, he is responsible for recruiting, hiring, and setting benefits policies for 1.9 million Federal civilian employees.

Why do you wonder how many are homosexuals? Just asking the question, not that I favor homosexuals or are against what you have pointed. Just trying to figure out your point.

It's a recurring theme with RT... Let's just say he has "issues"...

They claim they are a race.

I know that most of the military people I know are racing to retire as fast as possible as a result of the new DADT rules, but I didn't know that homosexuals considered themselves to be of a different race.

I can see your perspective now after reading Judy, Judy's article. Thank you.

Yes, my mind is queered toward queers...it's weird how that works.
