Diversity in Televised Poker

I call bull. Being anti-PC became PC a long, long time ago. So what's your explanation for situations like the NFL? Here are some reasons people give for not hiring people:

"He just gave me a bad vibe"

"His style just doesn't jibe with mine"

Here's an often-given reason for hiring someone:

"He reminds me of me when I was that age"

This is a disadvantage to certain groups. Do you see why?

I do. But to put quotas on how many blacks or whites should be an executive is absurd. If I'm hiring, I'm going for the bst man or woman for the job. Period. And if I happen to have more in common with one than another, you know what? That's life.

Maybe I hire one of two equally qualified candidates simply because he/she plays poker. Is that discrimination? Who cares? I can hire whom I please. Unless I work for the government, of course.

If you work hard and are clearly the best candidate for a job, you will get ahead eventually. I don't care what color you are.
