zookeeper at a zoo a few weeks ago but i didn't go up to them and say excuse me asian zookeeper i have a question in fact i didn't think of them as an asian zookeeper at all really i think i just thought of them as a zookeeper who happened to be asian but all that is beside the point i go back to the question i posed at the beginning even if black people are under-represented amongst you zookeepers why is that automatically a problem why does it matter see this is what the racialists do they walk around the country randomly poking their heads into rooms and saying hey there should be more black people in here that doesn't they don't seem to care much about the math there are a finite number of black people in the country in the world even there's only so many to go around and yet and yet they demand dramatically increased numbers of black people and other racial minorities in every in every field and in every walk of life and in every nook and cranny of society but then the math doesn't work if you insist on more black zookeepers and your demands are fulfilled that's going to mean fewer black people in whatever field or profession they would have gone into instead that problem should be apparent i would think also nobody's talking taking into account free choice each individual black person in the country is a human being with free will if not many of them become zookeepers it's because not many have decided to make that choice with their lives you can create more black zookeepers only by convincing black individuals to not choose whatever they were going to choose and choose zookeeping instead but in what way does that represent progress that's a lateral move that's a reshuffling you're shifting pieces around on the board you're not adding new ones or perhaps i'm looking at this the wrong way if we can't increase black representation in zookeeping by increasing the volume of black zookeepers the other option is to decrease the volume of white zookeepers maybe we should fire NUMBER_TOKEN percent of the white zookeepers across the country thereby tripling the percentage of black zookeepers in one fell swoop better yet the most equal thing would be to have no zookeepers at all open the cages let the animals wander around as they will that would be true equity it would also make for a much more entertaining zoo experience and most importantly racial balance at the zoo will finally be the last piece we need in order to usher in racial harmony across the globe seems like a crazy plan perhaps but it's better than the one offered by the washington post and black zookeeper craig saffo and that's why they are both today i'm afraid to say cancelled and we'll leave it there thanks for watching thanks for listening have a great day
