Watson and Crick got a Nobel prize in medicine.

Oops! Thanks for catching that! But at least my point still got across about how they were able to achieve that prize.

Sorry - I'm a teacher, and just had to set that right.Yeah, the "minions" didn't get the recognition they deserved.

No problem! I know many teachers so the more I learn and improve myself the better off I am in educating others.

OK, I'm going to go off on a tangent. I'm not saying I agree with this guy, but why is it that blacks push things like affirmative action and work place diversity so hard? Isn't that like admitting that they're inferior? Why should black or hispanic people be given an advantage over others if they're considered equals?

There's yet more to this. Why is it that the term "minority" not include asians/middle easterners/indians? In many areas, there are clearly much fewer asians/middle easterneres/indians than blacks or hispanics, yet they're not given then same advantage that the more numerous blacks and hispanics get. What's the deal? It's as if the term minority is only applied to blacks and hispanics.

What'll they think of next? Asians and indians are too smart, so they're given a penalty? This is totally unfair, equality my foot.
