Anyone that is really paying attention and has any ability to comprehend the actions and interactions of people in daily society knows that people have become apathetic as to the values of personal respect, consideration of others , accountability, and basic decency in every possible venue imaginable. The courtroom is no different . Most of us on this blog can remember a time not that long ago when going to a bank, a church , and especially a courtroom ! was an experience that involved people at least acting as if they respected each other. There was also a time when being an attorney ... an officer of the court meant something as well. Everything now is just a "mind fuck" to manipulate people's emotions when most people have no emotional coping skills other than to complain and argue with anyone who will pretend to listen and pretend to care! This profession sucks just as bad as every other profession now sucks because the people who practice in this profession are miserable and lead unrewarding lives because all we do everyday is "mind fuck" ourselves and each other for a buck!

If it is true, then the fact that more qualified persons got passed over because of their race is what is offensive (to put it in your terms, the "subtext" would be "screw the white person"). No one here seems to claim they know what the PD's affirmative action policies or practices are or whether the attorney here benefitted from any such policies. 8:41 made an assumption (well, asked a question) based on the little information we have from the articles. It would be enough to say, "That's possible, of course, but without any more evidence than a Cooley grad's contemptuous behavior in court, you can't conclude the lawyer is not qualified to work at the PD's office or that she benefitted from any affirmative action policies." There's no evidence of affirmative action hiring here, but although 8:41's comment was provocative, it was hardly beyond the bounds of rational hypothesis.
