However in this study, education and experience were not "ghetto". And the fact remains the study used common names from birth certificates 25 years prior.

Here is the original study for those interested. It also includes common names used and how they arrived at those names with stats and formulas

When resumes are sent out with equal experience and education and the only differences are traditional black sounding names and traditional white sounding names, those with traditional white names get significantly more callbacks.

Yep, this right here. Companies don't want to hire perceived troublemakers, regardless of race.

Yes I do. Hire based on experience, education, and ability, not race

And that does suck for the applicant who didn't name herself and should only be judged on her merits. I get that.
On the other hand, HR will coddle minority employees for fear of lawsuits. Companies will keep a subpar minority rather than fire her to avoid looking racist and being sued. And minorities can get accepted into schools and for jobs over whites due solely to their skin color.

13 years old, limited to 2 cities, judgmental sample. Yeah. That proves it alright. Epidemic.
Question: will Affirmative Action always be necessary? Shouldn't it have a shelf life?

I've been in countless businesses with women/minority "outreach."

Yeah, let's not talk about the disparities in job opportunities and job offers and salary for equally educated and experienced blacks and whites. We don't want to offend the white people . Here is but one example.

I agree. White people can't accept it. And I'm white and privileged too. AND I LOVE IT!

I am 100% against affirmative action and quotas.

Same reason housing and job vacancies are suddenly filled when blacks show up in person.
Have you ever been to a black neighborhood? Here's an experiment. Pick out a city on the map. Any city in the US. Go there and find the worst neighborhoods. They'll be black, with a few being Hispanic if you're out west. Matter of fact go visit any black neighborhood anywhere and there's about a 90% chance it's full of litter, dilapidated housing, adults loitering at all hours, and crime.
It sucks for the many blacks who do maintain their properties. It really does. But blacks have proven time and again incapable of maintaining a neighborhood.

In the Dem debate last night they said whites will be minority in about 40 years. So our grandkids I expect will be able to use affirmative action and apply for minority scholarships.

I'd love to see a stat on what percentage of white families are born with wealth they in turn hand down.
I bet it is a lot smaller than the people who created this video think.

When whites are the minority, there will be no call for any kind of AA.

I'm in my mid 40's and have used my white good looks all my life for the betterment of me! The difference between me and others arguing with you is I can admit it!

Company hires white guy he doesn't work out they fire him. They hire a black guy and fire him they have to worry about a lawsuit and being called racist. Sorry but that is the truth.
