("Disproportionate" in the sense that I see a greater percentage of the African Americans in law schools going into such work than I do graduates of other races.) While it's a bad idea to *assume* any individual black person would be interested in such work -- Clarence Thomas has been rather bitter about this -- in the aggregate it starts looking strange. On the other hand, perhaps the sort of African American who is attracted to civil rights work is unlikely to be sympathetic to Bush's position on it. Certainly Bush has had African Americans in some high profile positions; they just tend to be jobs where race is unlikely to come into play.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
