Having a preference for Caucasian is just as bad has having preference for candidates of Hispanic, African, or any other descent. This is why race (or two or more races) are being removed from employment applications.
I would rather hire someone who can and will do the job instead of hiring someone over the color of his or her skin color.
Nope. You read that wrong. The company is a RECRUITMENT company that was recruiting for a CLIENT. Regardless of their own staff make up, they are not allowed to do racist recruiting for a client.
The Civil Rights Act should have applied to public agencies only. Private enterprise should always be free to engage in any sort of discrimination they want.
Now, while the rabble is outraged, lighting their torches and sharpening their pitchforks, allow me to explain...
Let's take a business owner, We'll call him Bubba. Bubba hates colored folk. Bubba is a proud KKK member. Bubba wants to put a "no n-ers allowed" sign on his front door, 'cause he just don't like dem folk! Now, when Bubba does this, everyone knows where he stands... black people aren't going to shop there, other "minorities" aren't going to shop there, other commonly-hated groups aren't going to shop there... heck, no human being is going to shop there. Bubba is going to lose his customers, then his business, and is going to go away to his trailer in the woods.
Now, let's force Bubba to take that sign down, and to paste a big fake smile on his face when people he doesn't like walk in. They shop there, and give him their business, and spend their money... on a person who hates them, and is probably going to use that money to fund the next Klan barbecue, or cross burning. How were those people well-served?
far better to let Bubba go out of business, and let someone else open a business that chooses to not discriminate. And spare me the "Oh, but what if Bubba has the only store in a hundred miles, now no black people can buy stuff without a trip?" Bull. Someone else will open a competing store, because there's money to be made by doing so. "Oh, but Bubba will just burn them out!" Fortunately, it's possible to have laws against actions which directly harm others even in the absence of laws that make us feel better.
The company has Indian-American owners and they employ 60% minorities. They claim they were trying to diversify their work pool.
According to leftists, diversity is only good if it takes away from white people, but not good when it helps any white people in any way. "diversity" is not diversity. It is just racism against white people. Its just a codeword.

Very Libertarian, which is good since no population larger than a small town has ever fallen for the shuck of that "leave me alone so I can be as big an ******* as I want" stripe of governance.

Why are you so worried about someone else being "as big of a ***whatever*** as they want"? Why do you feel a need to be able to force people to be "as big of a ***whatever*** as you want"?
