I'd like to address the affirmative action in regards to coaches interviews. While I can definitely see where requiring interviews with black coaches may seem like a good idea at the time to expand racial boundaries, it suffers from the same flaw that all other affirmative action cases do: it assumes minorities aren't good enough to get the position on their own.
Seriously, why would you need to give a person extra credit if you had faith in his ability to pass the test without it? This is extremely racist, yet no one seems to notice because its all done to eliminate racism. I am firmly against all forms of affirmative action for that reason. The best person should get the job. Period. I have met several black people and hispanic people and asians who could all steal jobs away from me because of their abilities, not because of their skin color, and I have faith that minorities could very easily succeed without affirmative action.
