Naval Academy Kerfuffle

Color guard thrown a curve – Officials tinker with group to make Naval Academy look diverse to World Series viewers.
If 20 percent of the Naval Academy students are female and 25 percent are minorities, then adding two people to a color guard isn’t making the Academy "look" diverse. It already IS diverse and they apparently wanted the color guard to reflect that. Should they make all color guards forever be all white males to avoid "discriminating" against white males?

And you know what white males? Your days of dominating every institution in the country are over. Some of you are won’t be able do things that you might have been able to do in the past because you now have to actually share the country with women and minorities. You don’t get stuff anymore just because you were lucky enough to be born white and male.

That’s not discrimination and it’s not "PC".

There’s just not enough space for all white males to get everything they used to get AND for women and minorities to get theirs too.
