The US Census Bureau is here to help:<br /><br />"In a twist to notions of race identity, new <span>2010 census</span> figures show an unexpected reason behind a renewed growth in the U.S. white <span>population</span>: more Hispanics listing themselves as white in the once-a-decade government count.<br /><br />"The shift is due to recent census changes that emphasize "Hispanic" as an ethnicity, not a race. While the U.S. government first made this distinction in 1980, many Latinos continued to use the 'some other race' box to establish a Hispanic identity. In a switch, the 2010 census forms <b>specifically instructed Latinos that Hispanic origins are not races</b> <i>(emphasis mine)</i> and to select a recognized category such as white or black."<br /><br />Oops.

But two things about it. <br /><br />1) It is not what the USMC is focused on. Unlike other services, the political haymaking is not foremost on the minds of its senior commanders. What is mandated gets enough attention to keep the Pentagon off their a**es. But not much more. In this environment of mandated racial and gender preferences counter to the 14th Amendment, that may be all one can reasonably hope for.<br /><br />2) Recruiters have been stuck with those quotas for a very long time. Decades, in fact. MOST recruiters know very well how to get who they want and can be pretty inventive to do so. In the years I was close to the recruiting game, I cannot recall any recruiter having to turn people away because they had "too many white guys". <br /><br />Point being, Amos, like Conway and others before him, are stuck with this crap and try to minimize impact. Get them in a room where nobody can hear them, and they will tell you what horsesh*t it is, no matter the scipt they must read from in public. Others, like The Mike and Gary Show, proselytized this crap to the exclusion of a whole bunch of other things, including combat readiness. They were and are true believers.<br /><br />We have only had ONE Commandant who was a political hack and foisted this stuff upon the Corps to the extent it had significant impact. That was CC Krulak, who, with his old man Brute, were HUGE Democratic fundraisers. And Krulak's tenure stuck out like a sore thumb. At least Brute knew not to have his politics dictate how he served as a Marine Officer. If only his boy would have followed THAT example.UltimaRatioRegisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-66572362858444401302011-09-29T15:21:48.414-04:002011-09-29T15:21:48.414-04:00...and a body piercing(s).
