[QUOTE="athena, post: 275217, member: 9953"] First, you are right you didn't say there was no racism. However, to insinuate that racism is not as prevalent today means that individuals must resort to inventing racism is a bit ridiculous. Second, I am not inventing racism. I am not sure where you get the whole 100 vs 300 but I will use it. You do realize that even if there are 300 whites vs. 100 black applicants, this does not mean you can select 3 times as many whites. In fact, it is against the law. So, for example, you have 100 positions you can not select approx 75 white applicants and 25 black applicants based on the fact that you have 3 times as many white applicants. That is not 4/5ths (or 80%) which is what the proportion that is set by the US government. That is, you have adverse impact if there are fewer minority group members than 80% of the majority group. Here you would need approximately 45 black individuals selected and 55 white individuals to not have adverse impact. If a company does have this disparity (less than 4/5th of the majority) in the job then you have what is known as adverse impact (selection of a protected class of individuals at a substantially lower rate than the majority group). If the company can not prove that the selection procedures are j[FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]ob related for the position in question, consistent with business necessity, and that there is not an equally valid selection procedure that has less adverse impact, then the company is considered to have discriminatory practices and will be held responsible.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][/FONT] [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]Oh, FYI, I didn't "invent" this racism description. The US government did.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][/FONT] [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]Considering that there are still legal cases of this nature in court and the minority groups are winning, I'd say there is still plenty of racism going around. This does not even include behavior such as leaving a noose in an individual's work area. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
