It seems that whenever you target a group of people specifically you are always working on a flawed premise. We recruit mostly based on, do you want to join & are you old enough. Really the ideal way to recruit is to recruit, not to try to recruit more of this type of person or that type of person. The best you can do is make sure you are being fair.

I also think more people need to realize a lot of disparities are affected more by social implications. Whether or not the majority of FIRST teams are fair and non-discriminatory won't do as much as the media and culture do in encouraging an individual to pursue one path or another.
