  They can prove statistical anomalies, sure. But no amount of statistics can prove discrimination (contrary to popular belief these days).

    With the right laws, a company could still be fined if they don't meet age percentage quota, so there's that. "Hmm, all your hires are < 30 huh? OK, we don't care if you intended to discriminate or not, here's the fine".

    That's only the case if one believes that certain groups of people truly are superior or inferior.
