All I keep hearing is that the job is given to a "green" person who's underqualified instead of the token white guy who's got the qualifications. What about when a qualified minority gets the nod over an equally qualified white guy, would you still have a problem w/that too? You guys just assume that all minorities are underqualified, I come to that conclusion cause that's the only example you two have given.
ok dude, first of all calm down... just because you don't like what you hear doesn't mean you have to throw out the racism flag. that's just ignorant.
second of all, nightshade's example is right on target. that is the same situation that occurs in every business firm, college, etc... in america.
i'm not saying all minorities in general are underqualified at all. that's just you taking my words out of context. my point is that regardless of qualification, if someone is hired to fill a quota, there will be those that feel discriminated against, regardless. this causes tension and breeds bigotry. plus hiring based solely on numbers instead of qualification is inherently immoral and unethical.
