mini mini pole

The results of my mini-poll don’t support Dalton’s claims. In fact, if anything it shows that people are more aware of the remaining racial issues than Dalton contends.
The most common answer revolved around the idea that although it is indeed possible for minorities to succeed in our country, it is very hard for them to do so. The participants in my poll all had a pretty detailed idea about how race relations in our country have improved, but still have much room to grow.
The participants all seemed to think that the placement of such minority stars only highlights the position of the general minority groups in our country. For every minority actor, athlete, or politician, there is many times that number of Caucasian stars. The gradual spread of minority figures has actual brought the race division into the light again.
The people I polled all thought that minority celebrity figures don’t cause people to blink at the many barriers of racial equality. If anything, it causes people to look at them more.

Ok - but what did your poll have to do with the abolishing of the myth?
