He shouldn't resign for this....
His joke was so truthful that he just couldn't get this job.
When asked on a form he was filling out if he had a disability, former Oregon state Sen. Neil Bryant wrote: "white/male."The ony discomfort he caused were to people who don't want to think about the harm being done to white males through political correctness.
It was meant as a joke, but the notation was written on his nomination form to serve on the board of Oregon Health & Science University, a position for which Gov. Ted Kulongoski had recommended him.
Bryant has now withdrawn his name from consideration and apologized.
"I sincerely and profoundly apologize for any discomfort I have caused," the Bend lawyer wrote in a recent letter withdrawing his name. "No one is to blame but me."

It's not the political correctness that I would take note of. What I would take note of is this guy failed the stupidity test.
How is it stupid to speak the truth, Truth Hurts?
Ahh yes . . just like in a political campaign if you state someting factual that might hurt your or opponent or paint them in a bad light then you are conducting a "negative campaign".
"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
