"Is 'race neutrality' merely a rationalization for whites to use in protecting their share of the pie, or is there a genuine concern for the fairness of the process? If a racially neutral policy were to create more seats for blacks and Hispanics, would the public be more supportive—even if the increase came at the expense of whites and Asians? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is yes."–James M. Glaser and Timothy J. Ryan, coauthors of Changing Minds, If Not Hearts: Political Remedies for Racial Conflict, in the latest issue of Washtington Montly
