I'm a minority so this issue would effect me personally. I don't like this ethinc/gender quota your team has to abide by because [culturally as well as other factors] different people work different ways. Somebody might draw a picture, somebody might mumble some works, or somebody might tap their foot. Everybody has a unique way of thinking and when you pick and choose with a quota you may be weeding out the best thinkers [whatever race/gender they may be].

You pick the best person for the job whether they are black, white, asian, hispanic, female, or male; NOT so you 'look good' when they publish your team picture in the school paper, but because they can get the job done right, on time, with a passion.

Pavan.
