Of course, stupid meaningless shit like this gets front page news from the media.

Meanwhile, the New York State Legislature just fired all of their white staffers for being white and the story is buried.

During the first five months of this year, with the Senate under the control of its first African-American majority leader, [State Senator Malcolm] Smith, top Democrats bemoaned the lack of minority Senate staffers.

But instead of trying to recruit new hires, they fired nearly 200 almost exclusively white workers and replaced them with a large number of minority employees, many of whom were seen by their fellow workers to be unskilled at their new jobs.

The move produced severe racial tensions, made worse by the fact that, as a high-level Democratic staffer confided, ?We?ve been told to only hire minorities.'?
