Your thoughts?
1. I have no problem with any private institution that wants to implement "affirmative action" as part of its hiring and promotion practices.
2. I also have no problem with any private institution that would rather stick to hiring and promoting people of a single race, religion, sex or nationality.
3. I think both of the aforementioned practices are short-sighted and probably never in the best interest of the profitability of the private institution. In many institutions diversity is probably a good thing to have, but "diversity", in and of itself, is not as important as getting the person most qualified, capable, and motivated to do the job.
4. I DO have a problem with the government regulating hiring, firing, and promoting practices of private institutions.

Complete agreement. Good Post.
^what he said.
Could it be that everyone agrees on something??? *gasp*
don't know. lets see how champ and daybreaker respond (if they do).
Actually, no. I think affirmative action is a necessary evil.
It just needs to be tweaked.
It's hardly "necessary" - you just like it.

Actually, no I don't. In fact, affirmative action has negatively affected my family, however, it's a necessary evil, and I say that from personal experience of seeing discrimination in practice within the last couple of years.
Why should business owners not have a right to discriminate?

DD,
Why does the Govt. have the right to have any influence whatsoever in my companies hiring process? I am the one that will succeed or fail based upon my hiring decisions. If I don't hire the best man for the job and my competitor does then I will surely face the natural consequences that occur in the marketplace.
Also even if affirmative action works on one side, doesn't the harm it inevitably causes on the other side cancel the progress out making it a wash.
and the biggest harm it causes is that it continues discrimination. to emphasize racial differences is exactly the LAST thing this country needs to do to improve racial relations.
Where did you go Dirty?
