And I guess I should preface my agreement a little better. I agree that when it comes to sales/marketing (or movie casting for that matter) that there should be some leeway when it comes to race. With sales and marketing the general idea is to try to connect your message with the customer. Making them feel akin to your product whether through your marketing or you sales staff. Look at the marketing for hair relaxers. Is that racist to show only blacks in the ads or is it just smart business because 99.9% of your clientelle is going to be black? I'm against racism. I'm generally against anything that ends in "ism" save for maybe alcoholism, which I have a certain affinity towards. (hick) I'm 100% for equal opportunity employment but it's got to be tempered with logic as well.
