Fair or Not?

Toys "R" Us Inc. has come under fire for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 savings bond prize in a contest for the New Year's first baby because the girl's mother is not a legal U.S. resident.

...Some Chinese-American advocates say the company's decision smacks of second-class citizenship.

Uh, no. That would be non-citizenship.

Even though the contest rules stated that the mother had to be a legal resident of the U.S. they still held a random drawing to decide among the first three babies entered in the contest.

I applaud Toys R Us for not letting her win.

They've now awarded the prize to all three babies.
