[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-selection is a problem in every single job I've ever seen in business and government.  In fact, I've rarely seen an open and fair process.  Doesn't make it right, but it doesn't mean it's due to racial discrimination either.[/quote]

+1000.  Cronyism, not racism, happens more in hiring than anything else.[/quote]

Can you really not see the connection between those two things?[/quote]

There sometimes can be a connection,….but not all of the time.   If six people apply for one job, and two of them are minorities, and the employer ends up hiring his best buddy from high school (who happens to be white), that leaves five applicants who may or may not have been as qualified out of a job…..because of cronyism.

DP.  This is why the disparate impact angle noted previously is important.  A plaintiff at not be able to proved a racist intent in any particular hiring decision (ie, disparate treatment), but with enough data over a long enough period of time showing a clear pattern of racial minorities being consistently denied opportunities in favor of white men can prove disparate impact, which is also actionable.[/quote]
