It's too bad that laws like this exist, but they are neccessary. There are still some employers out there that, if these laws didn't exist, wouldn't give anyone from another race a second look for a job opportunity. A lot of African American and Hispanic kids grow up in inner cities, and are faced with substandard schools as well as a lack of libraries and other recreational activities. What you end up with is a number of otherwise smart kids or young adults who have never been given an opportunity to excel. It's say that someone's underqualified for a job or college, when you base the criteria on a power rating of a substandard school, etc. I Grew up and went to school in North Philadelphia, and played high school and college basketball. Even with my bachelor’s degree, at every job that I applied for in Philly, I was always less qualified than the other candidates because my high school and college weren’t as "good" as theirs, regardless if I was better equipped to do the job or not. Now I get rave reviews at my job up here (in CT) doing work that’s at least 2-3 times more difficult than anything I would have done in Philly. Opportunity means a lot, doesn’t it? (Sorry, more like a personal rant against all of the HR people that looked at me as if I were dumb as a rock, when I knew I was most likely smarter than they were) ------------------ Fuck a signature...
