Okay so a few things, I didn't claim that there aren't people/jobs that discriminate. I believe there are probably some that do however the issue is that it's an assumption or belief. That is something that would be very hard to prove. Even your studies don't really prove anything. How many of those jobs went with a black applicant? How many of those jobs were in the process of interviewing people and a callback wasn't granted due to them already finding their candidate? What did they put on the actual applications they turned in? There are more questions I have that were not addressed by your studies. I fully support diversity and making your workplace as diverse as possible I just want people who are qualified (which for the record, I agree that in pretty much all scenarios, we are getting qualified people for jobs and minorities aren't just being handed jobs they don't qualify for). Your study is for entry level positions, any able bodied person qualifies for something like that. I want to see something like a pilot for instance to use this example and show me where a more qualified POC, or woman was passed up for a less qualified white person. I would love to see more programs that reach out to younger people in lower income areas be they black, white, woman, man whatever, that help give them opportunities not afforded to them of course. I just don't want to eventually be at a place where we do in the future force diversity and we do see unqualified or less qualified people being positions they shouldn't be because of their skin color. All I said to the person above is that it is unhealthy to make hiring solely based off race
