White people, in general, essentially voted for Obama based on a cost and benefit analysis and because they decided to choose gender over race.

Stop listening to disillusioned people who think social phenomena are a matter of 1+1=2. LOL.

True, but I think "people" are going to point to the Obamas and say, "See, they made it". Is it right? No. Is it fair? No.

The issue that I have with this particular case is that how did it *happen* that the Black firemen did not do as well as the Whites / Hispanic? Because given an equal playing field, i.e., all firemen had access to the study guide, they were all aware of the nature of the exam, they were all given the same exam under the same conditions, then where is the discrepancy that caused the outcome with the exam itself?
