The law punishes overt instances of discrimination.
I can hire all of x gender, x race, x religion, etc. for my 1000 employee work force. You won't legally be able to nail any kind of discrimination on me so long as I take care as to not leave evidence of it.
In this instance, did discrimination occur? Did the law do its job adequately?
- poszlem 4y agoIf there is no evidence of discrimination - how do you even know that it occurred? Are you saying that we should have people who decide what is and isn't discrimination without evidence? (since those, in your example, are not there).
- linksnapzz 4y agoEEOC can consider any sort of de facto discrepancy in racial distribution in hiring to be actionable discrimination.

- alephnerd 4y agoEEOC and the DoJ litigate even covert attempts at discriminatory employment - that's kinda their job. The bigger issue is they (and the rest of the Federal Litigation infra) are chronically underfunded due to partisan bickering from both parties.
