stuff? yeah i know about stuff

or when “stats” do not equal “facts”?

Episode 9 of Top Chef: Masters is a challenge to fix a meal for a member of the armed forces, and the family member is the contact. (I have my own qualms about the obligatory army episode of these things but that aside…))

The four members are four men, two (apparent) Caucasians, one Guatemalan and one from Hawaii. 

Where’s the chicks be at?

I’m sure you could say the armed forces have a male majority without impunity. However, especially when, as expected, the sacrifices of these members are being venerated, then it is important to represent, as much as possible, the people in that group. Not represent proportionally but do your best for as many people as possible to see themselves. Make an honest effort is all I ask.
