I agree with you. Hiring someone just to fill a quota is wrong. Hire people based on experience or knowledge/licensing.Thing is, if you run a mom/pop business, you can hire whomever you want. You have 50 employees or more, (I think that's still the number), you're subject to anti-discrimination laws. FWIW, I'm very torn on this issue. I think that no one should be denied a job because of race, gender, etc. On the other hand, I don't think anyone should get a job if they aren't as qualified as someone else for the position.
It's a quandry. And it's perhaps more deserving of discussion other than, "you're a racist" or "you're a bleeding heart". And I say this as a mom to a kid who may not get into the middle school he deserves to be in because he has a jew last name.
There are some good arguments both ways.
And that is the way it is supposed to be.
