Re: A few thoughts on rascism / affirmative action

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?
[/ QUOTE ]
AA wouldn't "say" anything. It would depend on whether or not any of those applicants filed a complaint of discrimination, and since Title VII and the EEOC prohibits the discrimination against all races, and doesn't institute any minimum quotas, they would have to show that you discriminated against them solely on the basis of color and not merit.
As you've said they were all equally qualified, and assuming they couldn't show otherwise, you'd be fine.
