Logging off now. TTYL! :2wave: Have a good one!
they dont do that :shrug:
AA/EO is about equal OPPORTUNITY
not employment or hiring
now if a company is found guilty of wrong doings then they may be forced to diversify but only after they are already breaking the law
oh goodness gracious, I know you dont fully understand AA/EO but do you not know how it works and what it does at all?
In the US AA refers to equal opportunity employment measures. This measures help prevent discriminating against employees on the basis of race, sex, creed, religion, color, or national origin. ALso five more recent statutes have listed other traits as "protected classes:
The Age Discrimination Act has protected those aged 40 and over
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 protects individuals who possess, or are thought to possess, a wide range of disabilities, ranging from paraplegia to Down Syndrome to autism.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 forbids discrimination on the basis of family history and genetic information.[5]
The Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 forbids discrimination on the grounds of a worker's military history, including any effects that the battlefield might have had on the worker's psyche.
Twelve states, over one hundred local governments, and the District of Columbia[6] have passed statutes that forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; also, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act would allegedly make sexuality a protected class, but this bill has yet to pass Congress.
I can also give you many links if you like.
I know this is hypotrhetical but,
what do you think would happen if a black rapper was interviewing for 5 back up dancers and 20 White guys auditions and 5 black guys. Who do you think would get the job?
no it doesnt "allow" that
it doesnt allow anything
Not sure if that is a good parallel. Because you also have to look at the odds of which individuals will have the skill sets the rapper is looking for. Even if you could film each one and digitally eliminate all racial traits, the 5 black guys might still have the superior skills. Yet that would still appear as if race was the preference.
Most of the time prosecuted illegal discrimination is verified by testing the suspect company by having several candidates of different races (or other types of groups) with histories that are equal, or the minority person is more qualified, apply for the same jobs, loans etc. That provides proof that the company discriminates by race rather than any other objective criteria.
We are assuming they are each equally qualified.
Blacks do not inherently dance better tan whites.
One leads to the other don't you think? If two applicants have the same OPPORTUNITY and the same qualifications but the white candidate is chosen, then racism will be charged.

1.) if it doesn't allow anything...then why does it exist? :lamo
2.)face it, brah... AA allows a minority applicant to be hired if he is qualified for the job, even though there may be better qualified non-minority applicants.
3.) A minority doesn't have to be the best...he just has to be qualified.
Yet i have facts...
Yeah, you said that.
yep and im still waiting for you to present anything that changes that , so far you've presented nothing
well at least you admit you have nothing, thats smarter than lying, good job!
Yes, but not in the way people always think. I think holding minorities to a defacto lower standard of performance/expectation whether it comes to academics, college admissions or public assistance programs creates a negative feedback loop of sorts that causes a great many minorities to have lower expectations for themselves. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You could also argue it cultivates racism by giving others a codified metric to point to or internalize when considering the inferiority or 'otherness' of minorities e.g. 'They are dumber, that is why we have to give them special assistance'.

That leads me to another point. These laws were made for equality purposes when things like segregating and discrimination were much more prevalent. We don't really have these problems anymore for the most part (except for perhaps small pockets). That is one reason why these kinds of laws just perpetuate racism, discrimination and hard feelings.
and those people feeling that way would be wrong an uneducated.
I like it when white guys do well in the NBA. Is that racist?Does institutional racism currently exist in America?

Not true. Some people might feel that way after being passed over for a job because of their skin color.
