Me too. I was told no, when I went for a SBA loan because I was not black. (Yes, they really told me that) Also I was passed up for a Mgr position because of quotas. (yes they told me that) Even though I had more experence. Affermitive action at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affirmative action is on its way out, at least as far as race goes. Quotas have been ruled unconstitutional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Affirmative action is on its way out, at least as far as race goes. Quotas have been ruled unconstitutional. Don't bet too heavily on that. Every gov't contract is loaded up with endless regulations about how you must advertise, hire, promote and then report on all your #s based on gender, race, veteran status, etc. Because the only way to achieve a 'colorblind society' is to make sure you categorize every employee by color.

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I really !@#$ing hope affirmative action, as far as race goes, is on its way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWVaBeach Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Perhaps I should have been more specific. I really !@#$ing hope affirmative action, as far as race goes, is on its way out. Not as far as Navy recruiters go. Right now their #1 priority is minority female recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
