Re: No offense but...

If you didn't have the "No offense but..." at the top, I'd assume you were posting in support of me. What you describe about how it probably happened is exactly how I envision it happening. The only quibble is that I don't think that "About twelve and a half percent of the population times two equals about 25%" means there's a 25% chance that one of the two testers would be African-American.

It's not your math that I'm questioning, it's the assumption that 12.4% of the population means that any slice of our population will yield somewhere around that same representation. If that were a safe assumption, then I wouldn't have made this post in the first place. It would be a funny odd quirk of fate that this happenstance slipped through rather than a symptom of something bigger and more troubling.
