- Larrikin 2y agoWhich ones?
- ekianjo 2y agoevery employer that has quotas for non-white employees? that necessarily follows. not that its not limited to race. if an org wants more women they will actively select candidates based on gender first.
- Zigurd 2y agoComparing a specific employer against "every employer that has quotas" is not a useful comparison.
- parineum 2y agoDiscrimination is a necessary means to achieve quoatas, no matter what the quota is. Introducing discrimination is often the explicitly stated purpose of quotas
- Zigurd 2y agoThe reason it's not a useful comparison is that unnamed, nonspecific "employer who has quotas" is assuming that many employers have quotas. Who? How much? And did they eat my cat?
- jimbokun 2y agoWhich employers are those? In the US, they would be blatantly violating the law and targets for lawsuits.
- School-Cotton 2y ago> every employer that has quotas for non-white employees? Does any employer in the US have this? I'm almost certain it'd be illegal.
- VancouverMan 2y agoJust over a decade ago, there was a job ad for a host role with the state-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that explicitly required applicants to be "Any race except Caucasian". https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/cbc-no-caucasian https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/cbc-no-caucasian While it was portrayed as a "mistake" during the subsequent backtracking, that incident certainly planted a seed of doubt in my mind.
