Wow

Quote from the OP:

"AFAIK S'phile - as JA likes pointing out, the #1 hifi mag - has no black reviewers/columnists. I could be wrong, but I read/subscribed to S'phile for over 20 years and can't remember one single black reviewer.

Hopefully there are a few I'm unaware of, but I'm only sure about one black reviewer at ANY of the mags - Clement Perry at Stereo Times. How many female reviewers are currently writing for hifi mags in 2017? I only know of Sue Kraft at The Audio Beat, and Marja (Marja and Henk) at 6 Moons. How many Latin reviewers can ya think of at S'phile and other hifi publications?

No, I don't look to hifi mags/e-zines to be beacons of social consciousness, and I'm not intending this post to be an indictment of JA and other hifi mag editors - let alone an accusation of racism. But Jeez, wouldn't ya think in 2017 they'd make more effort than they apparently have to hire some minorities and females? It ain't like white men have a monopoly on ears or interest in listening to music via at least decent playback systems, nor a monopoly on good writing skills. "

Wow.

And all this time, I thought the bored eschewed politics on AA.

Yet, here is a BORED MEMBER bringing up both race AND gender as an employment topic, which any semi-awake person knows are hot button issues for the political Left.

What the F difference does it make what race a person is?!!

I don't give a flying crap if an employee is white, black, pink or orange, or male, female or undecided. Just be able to do the job extremely well, and without "special needs".

Wow, talk about a "politically-charged" topic post!! Maybe Rick W should ban himself for a week.?
