Or... recruit and hire minorities. Measure the the results.

  I don't get this train of thought...Why minorities? should it not be - hire the best for the job? (and if you don't get the best, then you are not paying well enough?) Not trying to be sarcastic, just wanted to know a more in-depth view point.

    If that's the case, then say it. We don't believe in diverse work environments. We don't care if every employee is a white male. They asked for diversity, this is how you get it. Not trying to be sarcastic, but your argument assumes a meritocracy. Companies hire the best college graduates. Colleges take the best high schoolers. The best high schools are in rich, mostly white areas. Who's to blame? Most CEO's, founders, and senators are white men. Either it's not a meritocracy or white supremacy is real. I believe it's not a meritocracy. More opportunity for minorities is one step in fixing this.

      It sounds like you're saying meritocracies won't hire minority candidates because they won't measure up. This is blatantly false. A few of the brightest guys I know are minorities and they were hired because they were smart as hell.

      > The best high schools are in rich, mostly white areas. Who's to blame? The system of government where school funding is tied to local taxes. Always blame the root cause, don't try to gaffer tape society into something you want.
