Rick Janka thinks Watt speaks openly of what many liberals want.

Boy, you missed the point in what you have said about Watt! Rather than
hire people because they are qualified, the practice too often used is to
hire people *like the bosses* ( white males ) who are qualified. Instead of
interpreting the AA laws and regulations to expand the horizons to include
non-(white male) types, Watt has made the interpretation that we need cripples,
so let's get some cripples and any question of their abilities is beside
the point. It is repugnant because it is a reduction of a principled effort
to a superficial pre-selection on the basis of irrelevant characteristics.
