Honestly, I think the people that are wrong in this situation are the people who want to "diversify" the team just because it has mostly white males. Big deal. Race and Gender should have no place in demographics, and giving preferential treatment for minorities is racist and unfair. A person should be admitted to the team based on seniority, skill, or just a random drawing from a hat or something.

Now, I can understand WHY people would give preferential treatment towards females/non-whites, but it's a nonsense reason. It's as if people are trying to compensate for former inequalities. Rather than compensating, they should completely level the playing field. For instance, if a white male needs 100pts to pass a test, everybody, regardless of gender or race should need 100pts to pass the same test. A person is no less or no more based on their gender or the color of their skin. This should be especially true in FIRST.
