Do you think that all organizations in USA are enforced (in-corporeally) to hire Afro Americans & ladies?

Question

basically not for their qualifications & credentials but to avoid accusations of being discriminative?

Answer 1

Somewhat.

I think they are doing it becasue the dicrimination is still prevalent in the work force today. It's supposed to be a thing of the past, but unfortunately, it's not!

The qualifications and credentials were not even looked at at one point. They would just look at the name on the top of the resume, and if it sounded like a cliche black person's name, then the sesume went straight into the trash can.

Now, because they are getting caught doing it, and being turned in by others, they are starting to hire more blacks into the work force. So, they are trying to avoid any further accusations of being discriminative, but they end up with actual good, hard workers.

I hoped my opinion helped.

Answer 2

No.
There are laws in place that are supposed to prohibit making hiring decisions strictly on the basis of race, but these aren't actively enforced -- they're only brought into play when someone who feels they were discriminated against brings a lawsuit.
There are a few instances of an organization (usually a government one) demonstrating racist hiring practices over a long period of time, where after such a lawsuit a judge imposes an order on them to reach certain numbers of minority hirings -- but those are rare. Other than those few special cases, there is almost NO active enforcement of the laws regarding non-discrimination in hiring practices.

In other words...nobody is standing in a company every day telling them they have to hire minorities or women. Companies hire who they want to hire.

Answer 3

unfortunately yes. it started as a way to help people that have not had the same opportunity. but, i think it's gotten to the point where it has become a double standard. i've seen it many times... people hired because of their sex or ethnicity instead of hiring the person with the best qualifications. if i was hired because i was, i dunno, a black woman, instead of being hired because i was the best qualified for the job, i would be ticked off. and if we continue this practice, i feel that it will (if it hasn't already), create a new wave of racism. look up the definition of racism and you could very easily put this in that category. people of caucasion ethnicity not hired because a company needs to hire more minorities. to me, that's the same thing just flipped around. if you truly want to curb racism and treat everyone fairly, then the hypocracy needs to stop.

Answer 4

It is illegal to discriminate against protected minorities on the basis of any of the forbidden criteria. BUT - employers can insist that applicants be able to perform the essential functions of the job. As it should be, in my opinion, I don't want someone unqualified flying my 737 because it met demographic quota!

So no, you don't have to hire minorities but you have to be prepared to show that you did not NOT hire them on THAT BASIS.

Answer 5

Why do racist always sound ignorant?

It's as though you guys are looking for a reason you are failures in your endeavors.

If you concentrate on you may be you would not feel like such a victim and bore us with your whining?

Oh "shark" the reason is starring back at you in the mirror. Sorry I know reality hurts.

Answer 6

No. You can offer and particular type of employment for as long as you want, doesn't mean you are going to get a response from diverse demographics.

Answer 7

no, as a matter of fact, and statistics prove, minorities and women are generally over-qualified for the positions they hold.

Answer 8

unfortunately yes. I mean i can see why they started doing it but if someone is better qualified then it's pretty sad. You also see that alot when seeking an admition into college
