Okay, so for once, Cartman was right.

Already coming to our military worldwide.
“Aqua-Rocks” to the rescue!!
Oh, wait...
Then what is everybody else doing in the pool?
Other than peeing.

“Recruits who pass a swim test at the end can apply to be city lifeguards.”
I assume that public pools are full of minorities anyway, so this sounds like Darwin Award winners all around.
Hire Negroes and Latins to sit in the lifeguard chairs and blow the whistles, but keep a second set of Caucasian lifeguards at the ready to make the actual water rescues. Just wait.
The safest place to be in any urban area is the middle of the deep end of the community pool.....one of my coworkers when I at a motel
Okay, so for once, Cartman was right.
Passing a simple swim test is a lot different than passing an accredited lifeguard program.
Best example was on the early episodes of this season’s Amazing Race with twin doctors that were black. Early events were water-based and they floundered miserably to become an early exit from the show. They may be good doctors but they never learned to swim. Seeing the terror in their eyes about the water events was enlightening.
I read the NPR article you posted. The comments are something considering it’s NPR. All negative.
Just one more to add to the list of unqualified minorities chosen over more qualified applicants: students, postmen, teachers, professors, lawyers, justices, pilots, police, firemen, doctors, officers, bureaucrats, TV talking heads, actors, journalist, talent and beauty pageant winners, presidents, and now lifeguards. Nothing is more relevant in the hiring process to liberals than the darkness of your skin pigment.
And I did not see any “minorities” on the U.S. swim teams in the last Olympics. Steps must be taken to assure diversity on these teams. Ditto for the Winter sports. Minority members must be recruited and taught how to ski and other winter events. At any rate, minorities must be placed on these teams regardless of ability ( or inability) to assure diversity and that minority children don’t lose self-esteem when watching winter sports and seeing no people who look like them. (snicker)
I find the project’s name, Operation Wetblack, to be offensive.
FTA: “The kids in the pool are all either Hispanic or black or whatever, and every lifeguard is white and we don’t like that,” says a Phoenix official quoted in the story.
I may be going out on a limb here, Phoenix official, but I think that may be because you just don't like white people. Just a hunch.
There's the root of the issue.
Follows logically from the fact that America’s college have for years been recruiting minority freshmen who can’t read.
“every lifeguard is white and we don’t like that”
why are people not jumping up and down yelling “racism”?
Oh, I forgot. Most people have their heads up their a$$e$.
“City Recruits Minority Lifeguards”
so they’re hiring white lifeguards?
