I agree with you, in principle. The problem is getting people to hire the best available candidate regardless of their personal bigotry. Repeal affirmative action and many companies would quickly revert to one form or another of the "good-ol'-boy" system.
Can you imagine the Hobby Lobby hiring an atheist without affirmative action laws? How about small businesses in the south run my racial bigots hiring blacks without them?
It's a shitty system that sometimes leaves the best able to do a job out in the cold but with the resources to find another job elsewhere. The alternative is a shittier system that could leave the best able to do a job without the job and without the resources to find another job elsewhere.
Welcome aboard. You may want to post an intro thread to give people a bit of info about you. There may even be cookies.
