Interesting, no white men allowed to apply for government jobs. How ignorant.

I once knew a guy who worked for a large Alabama university. He needed to hire a soil scientist with a PHD for a particular position. The university told him to search for a black female in order to get double quota points and they told him not to advertise. Now, wouldn't you think finding a black female soil scientist with a doctorate would be hard enough?

Default I get asked all of the time

to look for women and minorities when hiring, if all else is equal I'd happily hire the minority, we just get so very few applicants who are minorities. But I've never been told "you can't hire any white people." That would be racist.

Here in the US, reverse discrimination is called equal opportunity.

Unbelievable. I thought maybe it was a satire. But apparently not.

Default I think it is...

I'm starting to believe that the world is slowly becoming a satire of itself. This is just further support for that.

It went out of fashion...

Its probably already has..but someday this kind of PC nonsense is going to end up getting people killed.

Wouldn't you love to be on some space expedition and find out the guy responsible for your oxygen isn't as good as the other guy but hell he's black!
..won't you feel so much better about humanity as you realize your 12 hours out with 11hrs 45 minutes of oxygen left

Default Also keep in mind Canada is not exactly

known for its sizable black population. So they are left with women and eskimos (if they are still called that). I don't see a huge problem with getting women to work, but how many eskimos apply?
