Funny how the New Haven fire department's little reverse-racism case has left the media so quickly, isn't it?
Only two weeks ago, an editorial on the subject appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
The case, if you've forgotten, involves a test given by the New Haven fire department to promote members to the ranks of lieutenant and captains. Among the highest-scoring candidates, who would have been promoted, were latinos and whites, but no blacks.
So the New Haven civil service board threw out the results as racially unacceptable.
Of course, we all know that, had the opposite occurred, and no whites, nor latinos were promoted, it would have been business as usual, and the results would have been certified.
Isn't this a natural case for the First Rookie to swoop in and declare New Haven wrong, in the spirit of post-partisan racial healing?
Not on you life. Wonderboy's racist solutions still only cut one way- and it's not a colorblind way.
