| Message | We can agree with articles one and two, but article 3 is just plain idiocy. Hiring quotas? Hiring should be based on ability, not race. If 99% of your work force is white, and a black candidate applies who is thick, why should they be picked over a fully capable white person. Just plain idiocy. |
