Who could argue? Too easy to abuse.

Lets consider someone who does abuse it and never hires blacks because of pure racism. Does he gain from this?

If so, why? I mean if he's foregoing opportunities to hire good workers and leaving them for his competitors, then how can that be good for him in the long run?

If it's not good for him, then why not just let him shoot himself in the foot and have him find out the hard way?

I am not of the free market cures all ills crowd Darryl. Even so, if the labor pool is sufficient that I can discriminate on the basis of race, I will not feel any effects, however the victim of my racism may, moreso if racism is endemic to the area and/or jobs are in short supply.
