If you were to use a black & a Hispanic person, many people would view them as a "bad" person vs. a "bad" person.
If you were to use a white & an Asian person, people would view it as a "good" person vs. a "good" person.
I don't know how logical that is, but many people in the class agreed with this person's ideas. But then this is the same class where a girl claimed all the people in the military are only there because they are uneducated & couldn't do better for themselves (didn't go over well, since we are in a military town and most of us only live here cause our parents were in the military).

Good point.
Especially when you consider cultural assimilation when people of other races come to the US.
