Isn't it exciting to hear all the "diversity talk" we are hearing these days? Seems like its everywhere. I hear it from the workplace to the tennis courts to the White House--and a lot of it is really scary. In the name of "diversity" I think we have fallen overboard...
In the recent elections all we heard was how Hussein Obama was our first "black President" but with a little background check we find that this isn't actually the case at all. Here are the facts:
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black.
If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President.
Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.
While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs..
Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab
(his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).

Seems like some groups like to be "diverse" but only to fit their needs and definitions...
Most of our talk about "diversity" comes from a fear of lawsuits--and its well deserved. Just look at the USTA and their unnatural fear of lawsuits. Its like the "tail wagging the dog"...
"Diversity" is the big buzz word in tennis officiating these days. We even have recruitment programs designed to enlist just minority officials--and that's not right. An official's recruitment and standing should not be based on their race but on their ability to do the job and to do it well. Personally I do not care about the color of a person's skin--just their qualifications to be a good official.
Before you hyperventilate, I grew up as a minority in South Texas and now am part of a minority in tennis officiating (white males over 50) so I know what discrimination is all about. Its the term "diversity" that worries me...
Time will tell where this slippery slope is leading us.

I always wonder... What if there were no black people in the world!
Would our world be better off? Would gun sales go down? Would hospital emergeny rooms become less crowded? Would we have less taxes to pay to support those on welfare? Would Cadillac go out of business?
Just wondering out loud!
Never fear,
Our new Attorney General will take care of his fellow "bro's". According to today's USA TODAY, there is a huge disportional percentage of blackees in prison when compared to mexcans and whiteys. Go figure!
