The reason for demographic information is not to provided special benefits for teams or because FIRST thinks race affects achievement. Instead, the demographic information is so that they can go to possible sponsors and show what underrepresented minority they serve. It's pure politics and FIRST is trying to use it to their best advantage.

I have no problem with providing demographic information to FIRST, which has traditionally been done with the survey at year's end. I understand that this information is very usefull to them, there just isn't any reason for us to be required to give it to the judges. Besides, it's easy enough for the judges to look and see what the percentage of minorities is
