On behalf of nittanyalum, you're welcome. One day you'll get all of this straight.
Seriously, while it certainly could have happened in a Democratic administration, I do think it would be less likely to happen. I'll leave it to others to argue as to whether that is because Democrats are more socially enlightened or because those in charge would understand that Democrats might have more to lose from the bad publicity. I could also say that I think it would be less likely to happen in the administrations of some other Republicans. Like I said earlier, this situation says as much to me about political naivety as it does about racial insensitivity.
Which is one reason I have no doubt that it would have made the news had this been a Democratic administration.
