"Unfair Genetic Advantage"

[Mr. Bloom]

Warning: OT....

I was going to ignore you, Mr. Silver, but for some reason I feel compelled to respond.

Glad you didn't ignore me (wouldn't have accomplished much...) AND I'm glad you did respond (I welcome discussion/debate about contrary views).

I'm not blind to the advantages I've had for being caucasian in this crazy world we live.

Mimi, that's interesting since I recall you're Italian...and I am too. Frankly, it's been my experience that Italians tend to be viewed as "2nd Class" among "Caucasian" people...add to that the fact that I'm "vertically challenged" and not athletic makes me an additional potential object of scorn among my own gender. I don't feel that I have had any advantage except that I was by God's grace adopted by loving parents at the age of 4 days, was well educated, graduated in the top 10% of my class AND practiced HARD to interview well.

At the core, even the most challenged have found the road to success...
