My point exactly Hal. Bout time you showed your face here.....
In summation of my thoughts, we have had a dreary past with regards to the way we treated people of different races and cultures. The majority of intelligent people in this nation will concur that we have improved since 50, 100, 150 years ago, but we still have work to do. There is still indifference, intolerance, and thoughtwemadeagooddecisionbutitreallywasabadone (affirmative action, race specific awards, etc...) happening, but we are tying to move away from it. It will be a while before we entirely embrace all races, cultures, religions, and backgrounds because of the differences of opinion, as we have clearly seen in this thread.
To address the topic more specifically, whether these boys were intentionally being insensitive by running for the award, we don't know. Whether they were purposefully trying to point out the issues or race and discrimination, we don't know.
