It doesn't matter if they're trying to fill a diversity ratio. The fact of the matter that there should be no ratio...

I understand the whole premise of being fair and not wanting race to play a factor, but FORCING race to be a factor isn't the way to do it.


Hey, I agree with you that it sucks that we have to have laws to force equal rights, but let's face it...the real world isn't like movies or star trek, where everyone gets along and are judged only upon their own merits. The human race as a whole is still in the dark ages, and nobody wants to admit how barbaric and prejudiced we still are.

We are TRYING though, which means that laws have been passed to FORCE racial diversity in the work place. These laws are to PROTECT the minorities, not discriminate against them. If not for the law, there would be nothing to stop them from hiring ALL white guys and no black guys, and next thing you know we are in the next civil war.

These guys are just following the LAW. Simple as that. I don't know why people have to try to stir the pot by crying racism, and let's not forget the other favorite-reverse racism!

Again, they were following the LAW. If the LAW says they must 4 black guys out of 10 people, and due to people quitting, getting promoted, whatever, they somehow ended up with 8 white guys out of 10 people, well guess what, THEY CANT HIRE ANY MORE WHITE GUYS FOR AWHILE, OR THEY GET SLAPPED WITH A BIGASS FINE (similar situation could apply if they had too many black employees-temp ban on hiring black guys).

It's as simple as that. It's not "racism", it's following the law. A law that was put in place, in an attempt to stop racism!

I would think if you were going to be angry about something, it should not be the company that is trying to follow the law, you should be angry about the law itself, or the human race in general for being a bunch of barbaric hate-mongers Razz
