Default Its The General Principle

My point #2 is a pure math problem. I could have come up with something about men. Or redheads. If PMS is a bad example so be it. But it seemed better than others.

The question is whether a hidden negative, usually hidden attribute of a small percentage of a class of people should be taken into account in situations where the person can't prove they don't have that attribute.

And I totally agree with the poster who made the opposite point. It might be good to give extra points simply because they ARE a member of a group. Barrack Obama comes to mind.

Now what about my Iraq comment.
