So it's all about a bug about blacks and women, again. Sounds familiar, Tom. 
Moaning about the excesses of affirmative action is such an old saw. What's up 
with that? Are you concerned that some poor pissed upon white guy who usually 
gets a leg up from *his* good old boy affirmative action network might not be 
able to compete on a level playing field with a person with equal 
qualifications from an underrepresented group?  Do you think there are so many 
job openings for chancellor of a university that Katehi's appointment simply 
fulfilled a quota?

Katehi isn't a lightweight who didn't earn or deserve her position as 
chancellor of UC Davis. Her curriculum vitae could compete with any man for the 
job she holds.

But that's not the point of the article, is it?
