Don't Despair, America: We're Still #1 In Some Things
This is the weirdest way to run a post-racial society I've ever seen:
"Eric Thomas, 24, told the Gazette that he was ordered by the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations—the service's version of NCIS—to 'infiltrate academy cliques, wearing recorders, setting up drug buys, tailing suspected rapists and feeding information back to OSI.' But when Thomas was brought up and charges and expelled a month shy of graduation for breaking Academy rules in the line of duty, the OSI pretended they'd never heard of him.
Despite denials by Academy and Air Force officials, the Gazette confirmed Thomas' story via three other informants and documents obtained through a FOIA request. Those documents also showed that the informant program 'appears to rely disproportionately on minority cadets like Thomas,' who is African-American."
Mind you, despite my extensive travels, I haven't seen any
other
post-racial societies:
So, maybe, this is just how it's done?
