AA? What AA? After 25 years of trying, US media still fails diversity test

Why is it so difficult for you to accept that this study shows racism is alive and well in the newspaper industry.
Because from what I've read, you have failed to take into account confounding factors. Correlation does not always equal causation.

Theory: not enought trained minority journalsts.
Fact: More than 25 per cent of journalism students are visible minorities.
Theory: you can't expect a newspaper in a predominately white community to have racial parity.
Fact: There are newspaper with an all-white news room in communities with a mixed community,
Theory: The readership is all white.
Fact: The parity comparison is based on readership and American newspapers have failed to achieve parity after 25 years.
In other words, all of the excuses have been proven false.

I fail to see how graduation rates of 25% allow for every newsroom to achieve racial parity in thier hiring of new journalists.

Come on Cali, fess up. You just want to deny that racism exists. The evidence is there and it is clear and yet still you deny it.
Answer the question.
Ok, I dont have anything better to do right now anyway.
I dont deny racism exists, but your "evidence" consists of numbers and statistics. There is no reason to believe that the high number of white people in the media is due mainly to racism. Its not consistent for you to automatically attribute this to racism, then when I bring up the point about the NBA having high numbers of black players automatically dismiss the idea that this could be due to racism. I personally dont think racism is a factor in the NBA, I am just pointing out your inconsistency.
In what way is it easier to show merit in sports than in the workplace? Also this is irrelevant, because if someone is going to choose on the basis of race it doesnt matter how good you are if you are the wrong race.

Oh come on! It is easy to measure merit in sports. There are stats galore measuring every aspect of the game.
Yes, my evidence consists of specific numbers. In other words, there is objective proof of racism.
You just don't want to admit that racism exists even when there is clear evidence that it does exist.
It gets boring for me when you dont listen to what I say.
What have you said other than "It's not true. it's not true, it's not true."
Why is don't you just admit the fact that there is clear evidence of racism. You can't be that obtuse to admit that you're wrong. Well, actually, you probably can't admit you're wrong.
Tingkai, have you ever seen the draft? Have you ever seen those kids after a few years? Over half are usually insurance salesman and realtors, or in trouble with the law. Numbers aren't always the true measure in sports. If you follow football you may know that Saturday is the draft. Over the past few years the Bears have drafted Rashaan Salaam (who might've been good if not for the pot smoking), Curtis Enis (who retired after three years because of knee injuries) and Cade McNown, who for some reason just sucks ass. All of these guys were supposed to perform because they did in college. I repeat, numbers aren't everything.
I never know their names, But i smile just the same
New faces...Strange places,
Most everything i see, Becomes a blur to me

Listen -- no one said, "It's not true, it's not true!" They've simply said that the statistics you've provided is not the end all to be all. You seem to be the only one in this thread unable to accpet that.
Can you accept that maybe minorities aren't as interested in being in journalism as caucasians? Could that possibly be a factor? By the same token, can you accpet that maybe caucasians aren't as interested in being in the NBA?
You are a politically correct wrecking ball run amok.
If a newpaper had more than a racial parity of minorities would you then be arguing that they are discriminating against whites as well? Does every thing have to be in exact harmony, or else its a symptom of racism? Where does your madness end?
