What would you call me if I hired the white guy over the black who is more qualified?

Would you call it racist? And if so why does the program, Affirmative Action get a pass?

It's called selective application of standards, Gramps.

In other words, a double standard. Everyone in politics are guilty of employing it.

The more qualified person should be the one you hire.

So you see the glaring problem with affirmative action.

I would call you someone who practices what Martin Luther King preached. You're being 'Color-Blind' and hiring the most qualified for the job. Good on ya.

Why do we allow Affirmative Action to continue? It selects people based on race which inherently discriminates against others based on race.

You just stepped into the trap, I think, Matthew.

The way it is supposed to work, legally, is that if ALL OTHER THINGS ARE EQUAL, employers are encouraged to hire the minority. If you can show that the white guy is more qualified, you have every right to hire him. If the black guy is more qualified and you hire the white guy anyway, you are just being a typical American employer.

Trap? It was a simple question. Why don't you answer it?

I'd call you ignorant, but it's your business. You can do as you want.

Well it didn't work that way and plenty of more qualified people got screwed
