[quote=Anonymous]There is another aspect of affirmative action, which is not mentioned in 13:23's article, namely outreach. I recall when I was involved in hiring. There was no quota in hiring, but we were required to show that we were advertising in places where minorities were likely to see the ads. Had we hired any candidate who appeared significantly less qualified, I think there would have been questions, whether white or minority. But among roughly comparable candidates, I think our decisions were generally accepted. However, although I don't recall the situation occurring, I had a pretty strong impression that a pattern of choosing whites over comparable minorities would have been problematic. In other words, the system was (in my opinion) a reasonable effort to overcome prejudices that were either built into the preexisting hiring framework or were subconscious among the hirers. Neither of these two is likely to be cured by being "color-blind".[/quote]
