What would AA say about an employer hiring for 10 positions, has 30 equal candidates 10 of whom are black, but hires all non-blacks (say theres an Asian and an Indian and Middle Eastern hired in there)?

Is that prima facie evidence of discrimination? Im asking because in 35 years of business I have seen only one hiring decision made based on race/ethnicity and that was to hire an equally qualified black woman in a small company that encouraged diversity to begin with.

Well said.

An employer that doesn't understand that one should hire on the basis of merit rather than racial preference is not going to stay in business very long.
