discrimination seems to come very naturally to some... in spite of all evidence to the contrary, they cling to their beliefs.

I can clearly remember my dad going on about how black men were not suitable to be soldiers... after all, he served in all white units during WWII. Black men have served in the American fighting militia since the American Revolution, but even up to WWII, many officers ( graduates of all white military academies) were still dubvious about their qualifications. Just as all white sports teams felt that blacks were too uncoordinated or smart enough to be players along with whites.

What some people will do to maintain their completely undeserved sense of superiority...
