Re: Burl & Moor becomes victims of racial quota system

The usual sock puppet accounts backing themselves up here.

The thing with the quota of the last couple of admins, there has clearly not been racial bias in the selections.

Whether you believe Waller or Moor deserved their repeated selections or not, if there was true bias they wouldn’t have had their selections. That’s how you know if there’s bias or not, the 50/50 or 55/45 selection decisions would go against the white guy either most or all the time.
There’s still iffy selections, but usually it’s the black dude that gets shafted because Makoni wants to put one of his boys in who did him a favour the week before or something.

But make no mistake, ZC are being wise here in the sense they aren’t being biased because they don’t need to be.
There’s like 6 serious white guys in the system. Ervine, Williams, Taylor, Moor, Burl and Jarvis.

If they are all available and selected, it’s only half the team.

So they don’t NEED to be biased. They don’t need that noise.

Watch what will happen though if there’s ever 15 guys in the system and 8 or 9 are demanding selection at any point through their performance. Then you’ll see racial bias return like it never left the building. It might even come from the fringe players who sense an opportunity first.

Mods should make this post a sticky.
