Technically, that is special treatment. In my business, I want the best and it doesn't matter what they do outside of work.

No idea. I already live in a post-racial, gender-neutral, all-inclusive reality. And I am impatiently waiting for "the herd" to join me there.

Is that a serious question?

Yes, you do, and they make you prove it at the door

But in the same way that I'm attracted to a certain sort of woman, I work well with a certain subset of people.

And for my business, when I'm calling the shots, I'm putting the people who *I* want in the positions that I think they will thrive at.
And who decides when that point is reached? I think equality is good enough. You can never finalize atonement. No back-pay.

I feel the same way about white people. Am I wrong to want to hire just them?*

Me too!*

You are finally getting it! Why was this even ever a question? Affirmative action be damned!*

Sorry for the rainbow colored reply, It's my post and I feel I call the shots.*

I agree with no atonement due to it's potentially open ended nature.

Equality is the goal, and currently there is no equality. It's getting there. When the lgbt community are given all the same rights as everyone else, then it will be done.


Affirmative action is BS racism.
