You must be "white".< sarcasm on>
Not only that, but last time we went to bid on a job for bringing state-of-the-art technology into this city to create Mayor Brown's (I'll save THAT subject for another thread...) vision for automated government, the city actually REQUIRED responding business to support domestic partnership, show that you were minority-owned and/or women-owned businesses. I'm not sexist OR racist, but I seem to be unable to competitively do business in this city for being a white male and running a corporation. Those outside CA may not realize those requirements actually exist. Anyway, thanks for the response.
