The Rookie. Episode fourteen gazillion and six. Part MMCXVII. IX Nathan Fillion finds himself disarming a thermonuclear device in the Haydon Bridge Spar. He only has to cut the brown wire. And now his lies on his LAPD application form about not being colour blind return to haunt him.

I found some research (I'll try to dig it out) that showed the biggest obstacle was racist natives refusing all attempts at integration, then using "they won't integrate" as an excuse to hate immigrants. It would be Catch-22 if only these idiots could count that high.

Others will have their say about this, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this - or laundered versions of it - are accepted wisdom amongst a big chunk of our political and media classes and it is simply bad for society when the elites have little or no understanding of *the systems they run*
