RWN: Doublespeak From Hillary? No Way!
"Yes, we want to be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. But what makes up character? If we don't take race as part of our character, then we are kidding ourselves."
So the only way to not be racist is to be racist... makes perfect sense.
Update: Just noticed this bit at the end of the original article
Mr. Bush has suggested that alternative "race neutral" policies could achieve classroom diversity without placing undue importance on race. He has held up the University of Texas system as an example.
Students in the top 10% of high school classes are admitted into the University of Texas automatically, and the university has maintained a diverse student body, supporters maintain.
Mrs. Clinton rebuked the president's Texas model yesterday.
"In order for that to work you have to have totally segregated schools," Mrs. Clinton said.
Why? Is it that she assumes that minorities just can't compete in any given school system?
