We should have never encouraged the California folks to move here.

Firefighter 1: Are you here for the entrance exam?
Firefighter 2: Yes, I am here for the dunk contest.

Nobody is discriminating against white people bro.
Why are you afraid of being around black people bro.
Why do you care bro.

When a system does not take the highest scores and takes applicants by race or creed that is exactly what they are doing

Which jobs are white men allowed to have? I notice no one goes after city governments for having 90% black workers. But anything with high % white is villainized.

Classic government efficiency right here. Pay a consulting firm $1.2 million to re-engineer an entrance test just to hit pre-determined demographic quotas instead of, you know, finding out who is actually best qualified to pull someone out of a burning building.

Let’s talk more about the Louisiana mindset, how’s it’s consistently ranked last in the country…now let’s use that to form an opinion.
Yep, your input is not warranted.

Then why give the test?
To eliminate certain candidates that can't pass the test.
A guy with a fear of heights might score flawlessly on the test. But can't climb a ladder to perform a rescue.

Is this actually a problem? How many non-white applicants have not been successful in passing the requirements? Or is this a "3 non-white individuals did not pass so we need to increase that even though 200 white individuals also did not pass". I swear liberals look for solutions to problems that don't exist.

Forget about redesigning this intelligence test for firefighters. I really don't understand why they're doing intelligence tests for firefighters at all.
Pencil and paper tests presumably test intelligence. And I think what's more important for firefighters is whether they can carry a heavy hose or carry people out of a burning building. You do not need to give firefighters some de facto intelligence testing. I don't care if some dumb jock former high school football star with an IQ of 60 is a firefighter, as long as he has the strength and physical fitness to be a firefighter.
And they need to make firefighting a real profession again rather than this "volunteer firefighter department" shite. Firefighting is the perfect profession for some former dumb jocks football stars at a ghetto high school to make a $70,000 income with no college education and get into the middle class.

You give them the test and rank everyone based on the results, race or gender be damned. If that means your force is all white, all black, all Hispanic or all male then so be it. Why can't the left just leave normal people alone?

How so? Are you saying it’s not a legitimate news story?
I would think a major city lowering its hiring standards for an important job like firefighters constitutes a major news story considering the fact the public is being put at risk by having substandard and unqualified firefighters who’s job it is to potentially save their lives.
Am I crazy?

The left has made it clear they will ignore any law they don't like and dare republicans to do something about it, which they usually dont.

You can be sure if a Red city decided it had too many black firefighters so it redesigned a test to make it more likely whites would get more jobs this same moron poster would be screaming fascism and calling for somebody to be murdered. Thats the modern left for you.
