I have to say...I don't think this is particularly needed right now. I don't want to see more red tape from quota laws clogging up hiring processes in the future.

Good post. But i'll take it a step further: It's not needed EVER. We already have laws on the books that mandate diversity.

Like everybody else.

Poor whites can increase their odds for success by applying themselves in school, not using narcotics, not hanging out with losers and dirtbags and don't crank out babies before they can afford to support them.

So racism against whites is okay because 200 hundred years ago slavery existed? Perhaps you should read some of the white hating politically correct garbage that's being offered up in the Neanderthal thread. Sounds like something you'd enjoy.

Is the demographic balance going to really reflect society?
If so there are a large number of the groups mentioned that must be greatly reduced in many positions to make it so, especially in government jobs- they are well over represented.



I am currently working on a project for a large very well known corporation doing work directly for the government.

Tonight at work there were signs all over saying the exact words "Diversity and Inclusion".


Did they get a head start on the program?

Between that and the "zero tolerance" signs I told a co worker that I feel like I had just been politically correct indoctrinated just walking down the hallway.

Poor white males are the only group negatively effected by Affirmative Action. More affluent white males get snubbed too, but it doesn't do the same harm. A fatherless white male born to a crack addicted welfare mother and raised in a crime infested run-down trailer park has to get in line behind the Obama girls. How is that right?

Does that mean we're stuck with a "Diversity Czar(ina)"


...."The goal of the plan, as described by Judicial Watch, is to “eliminate demographic group imbalances in targeted occupations and improve workforce diversity. To attain this, special initiatives have been created targeting specific groups, including Hispanics, African Americans, American Indians, women and gays and lesbians.”......

As much as it takes to ram through his plans in what little time he has left.

I cant wait to pretend to be gay or bisexual just to get a job and take that opportunity away from someone who actually is gay or bisexual trying to get a job in a cheap way.
