So, as with the all too familiar scale for rating feminine pulchritude, our range is from 1 to 10. Drawing examples from the O.J. Simpson trial coverage and interracial crime data generally, Elder makes a persuasive case for this proposition, effectively ridiculing media efforts to ignore the prevalence of anti-white sentiments among blacks. The media's behavior is itself evidence that flak ratings are high for this proposition. I give it a 9. There's no doubt that this behavior works to poison race relations, also no doubt that it's unmentionable.
People say it all the time, even on the tube.
I give Elder a grudging 1. In other words, Elder argues, irrational discrimination has very little to do with the paucity of women among senior executives. What has a lot to do with it is the fact that, for all kinds of good reasons, women are far less careerist than men. It really was hard to say this in any kind of public setting in the early Seventies, but the dialog has since come a long way, baby, and I have trouble giving the author more than 2. Elder's argument is by now familiar, but, still, it remains super-sensitive, so I give him a 6 for this one.
