Re: Ethnic and Gender diversity in FIRST
To me it sounds like its edging up on reverse discrimination. If "student A" feels his spot on the team has been taken by "student B" who is less deserving/qualified, on the sole basis of race, "student A" should have his/her parents contact the school.

I believe it is improper to offer certain types of people more/greater/special opportunities over others for the reason of there being less of them in the general population.
