Umm... if your job can be taken away that easily and given to someone else, regardless of race, you're probably doing a really crappy job. Chances are, your'e upset because you feel discriminated against. Well guess what, people who don't have 30's on the MCAT and a 3.7 GPA are discriminated against when applying to med school. Those who barely passed the boards are discriminated against when applying to do ortho. GET OVER IT! The "race thing" doesn't have even have an inch on this numbers game we've been playing (and will continue to play) for years. So stop your whining and make yourself more competitive if you want something good for yourself --- geez.
