Who is to say they have any? You're implying they're somehow racist because they haven't met a black engineer? Just because of their skin color you're gonna judge 'em? Well sounds like you're the racist.

The data is telling us that we are racist - that's why we need affirmative action. I don't really understand what you're trying to say.

That's not at all what the data is "telling us." That's just your political narrative of the status quo.

While this may not be the data GP is referring to, data from studies of people's responses in controlled circumstances when factors other than the apparent race/ethnicity of the person they are responding to are held constant shows that Americans, in general, are racist.

Can you cite your source for such a vile claim?
