I'm proud to be a man. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

A Hispanic Graduate applies for the same job, but is vastly inferior skillwise to the above man. The Hispanic gets the job. Afterall, the company had to meet its racial quota.
Not that I don't agree with you generally, but I just want to point out that quotas (i.e., specific numbers of minorities that must be hired) are unconstitutional and have been for years. In the workplace, as with education, technically race can be a factor, but not the only factor, and not a major factor.

Now, reality is different than the legal guidelines of course. I was a manager for a contract engineering firm, and I snapped up minority candidates every time I could. We didn't have a set number we had to get, but we were in the south, predominantly white, and were eager to look like better corporate citizens.

Well, if you'll notice on the thread I linked, if I ever realize my dream of founding the NAAC(aucasian)P, I will be using it to found and run the United White Trash College Fund, for the disadvantaged amongst my people. Its main purpose will be to give scholarships to students of white descent, to help them compete in an environment where other skin colors are preferred for admission and where 90% of the available scholarships are targeted towards minorities. How's that for a valid purpose? [/QUOTE]90% of scholarships are for minorities!!!! Zioks!!!

Anyway... Good luck with the white trash fund. Sounds like a worthy purpose to me.
