Minority is no longer a statistical concept. It’s no longer a racial concept. Unless, of course, you’re a member of a certain race.
The Chicago Sun-Times explains:
Mayoral challenger James Meeks came under fire Thursday for suggesting that only African-Americans should be eligible for city contracts set aside for minorities and women.
… “The word ‘minority’ from our standpoint should mean African-American. I don’t think women, Asians and Hispanics should be able to use that title,” he said. “That’s why our numbers cannot improve — because we use women, Asians and Hispanics who are not people of color, who are not people who have been discriminated against.”
Jesse Jackson immediately thought to himself, “Crap. What didn’t I think of that one.”
These people put the pig in Pigford.
