It means what I said it meant. "People" could be anyone here, or anyone looking at the board for the first time, or a book reviewer, or a peer of Dr. Bob's.
If you think I'm being covertly "reverse-racist," sorry, but I said it could give the *appearance* to others of some kind of favoritism. I just think it looks bad. That's all.
As for your less administrative post above, I hate arguments, too, so we agree on that at least!
Best,
Wendy
> What's that supposed to mean? What people are you referring to? Why does it look bad to you? What's being Asian got to do with it in your mind? I don't think Bob should base his decisions on how things might look to anyone especially someone who's basing his reasoning on racial/ethnic characteristics.
