The best minorities are the Cherokee Indians with blood quantum levels exceeding 15%.

$11000-$12000 a year just because and first priority for all projects and available positions within the Qualla Boundary.

Tried that. Two black women from the state came to the office to "evaluate" the application. Denied.

Why would they need to openly ask for a certain race?

government- “preference given to minorities when out for public bid”

Also government to private entities- “don’t discriminate based on race”

Atleast they're up front about it. Sure beats both parties wasting time on interviews when they have no interest of hiring you.

It's no surprise that some companies white folks. Just as there are companies who would also only hire black or hispanic folks. Is it right? Maybe not. But that's just how things are.

I’m guessing this thread is full of really hot takes.

Terrible analogy. Nba teams dont give 2 shits what race players are.

Neither do most companies...until they're made to.

He's just simply saying the NBA needs to follow the same racial hiring practices forced on other organizations.

I mean fair is fair, right? I mean otherwise would be rather hypocritical, would it not?

No, he replied to the original post.

The company is going into the interview seeking white candidates. Nba teams dont show up to the draft looking for black dudes. They look for the most talented players.... Which is what the company should have done.

Likely because of government affirmative action policies. I'm a white male and was offered a position at the SSA for that very reason. The SSA is over represented by African-american and female workers. A white person can get a minority ROTC scholarship (and others) to a historically black university.

Which is why he mentioned the NBA. They should be held to the same diversity standards.

ETA: Yup, I thought so. From the article:

quote:

It also noted that its owners "are Indian-Americans [and] our workforce is over 60% minority," according to the statement.


Welcome to a prime reason why affirmative action is A) fricking stupid and B) hypocritical as hell.

Correct. The NBA, NFL etc. Dont care what color you are, they are just looking at the measurements, times and accolades. It's not their fault that a majority of these qualifications happen to be met by black people.

SOOOOO when other companies look to hire dont you think that they should be able to hire the best candidate best strictly on education, experience etc regardless of race?
