Zogby asks if FCC should force "good white people" to "make room for more African-Americans and gays."

FAIR's Peter Hart takes note of an extraordinary poll question asked by Zogby:

Here's one of the "questions" asked in the poll, tailor-made for Fox News Channel:

Federal Communications Commission Chief Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd wants the FCC to force good white people in positions of power in the broadcast industry to step down to make room for more African-Americans and gays to fill those positions. Do you agree or disagree that this presents a threat to free speech?

Odd is that real?
Actually I don't have any idea how to word such a question.
First thing I would take off would be... "wants the FCC to force "good" white people" out of this completely.

Probably say...
"Federal Communications Commission Chief Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd wants to have more diversity in the broadcast industry by racial quota forcing White individuals from positions of power. Do you agree or disagree that this presents a threat to free speech?"

If they actually used the quoted wording, it sounds very offensive. Not only is it leading on the reader with key phrases like "force good white people", and then "make room for more African-Americans and gays", almost as if they really want to provoke outrage by inciting prejudice.

See, even if I don't think that the government should force people out of a job due to their race or persuasion as long as they are competent, this question just raises my hackles.
