I agree, someone’s race doesn’t automatically make them a better employee, but some of what you say is arguable IMO. For one, the assumption that including race (or ethniciyt or gender) as part of your criteris doesn’t automatically mean a less qualified applicant is the result. For another there are vocations where being of a particular race or ethnicity actually enables the company to more effectively reach certain communities. An example could be in the health field or social work where employing someone who understands the culture and/or language can overcome the cultural mistrust of the community..
Someone's race doesn't make them a better employee, or the employer better equipped to meet their goals.
Unless your job is peddling or marketing race or race relations ... Race has nothing to do with your bottom line.
There is no reason to praise unity if all you are doing is making a bunch of cruddy employees,
regardless of race, feel better about themselves and their work environment.
Priorities ... Product, Service, Quality, Ambitions, Vision, Mission, Standards and Customer Satisfaction ...
None of which are necessarily bound to race ...
