The Government is an organization which legislates discrimination. They require employers to request demographic information such as gender and race and claim that it does not affect whether or not a person gets hired. They are full of Bovine Dung. If it does not affect whether or not a person gets hired then why do they insist on affirmative action? While companies claim that it does not affect their being hired, they should not pursue an individual who refuses to disclose but they do if they're interested in a person and want to satisfy their affirmative action obligations imposed on them by the government.
It all started with the idiot liberals yapping away after the abolition of slavery. White northerners moved down south to set up schools to educate the newly emancipated folk. The liberals complained at why blacks were not educating blacks and forced legislation mandating a certain number of black teachers to coincide with the ratio of whites to blacks in this nation. If they had just come off the plantations and there weren't enough educated black people to teach black children, then white folk had to be the ones teaching them. But no, this can't happen if we are to have equality, according to liberals. That is when unqualified teachers appeared on the scene.
This scenario got worse during the 1950's in an attempt to "desegregate" the nation. They forced students to go to schools in their local areas that parents who cared for the welfare of their children now had to send them to the local substandard school to be in class with students who didn't want to learn rather than be able to go across town to a school with higher standards and better disciplined classmates. Now even children with a high aptitude for learning are unable to. Dunbar High School in Washington, DC was a black school that produced many prominent blacks that this nation saw before the 1960's. They maintained high standards and brought in highly qualified teachers. Desegregation resulted in bringing in the local students that didn't want to learn resulting in capable teachers not wanting to teach there, that the school eventually met it's demise.
Here's what Thomas Sowell has to say regarding this matter in his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals: "Ironically, black high schools in Washington today have many of the so-called "prerequisites" for good education that never existed during the heyday of Dunbar High School–and yet the educational results are abysmal". While it is their intention to help lower income households progress, the liberals, with their activist mindset, do everything with haste. They don't consider the ramifications of expediting social equality by forcing schools to hire unqualified persons to balance out the demographics.
Moreover, different cultural groups deviate to different professions. I have noticed that many students from Asian countries who don't speak English well tend to go into professions which deal more with math and less with grammar. Some cultures breed hardworking people while education is not emphasized in other cultures. To force companies to hire a certain number of minorities is wrong and leads to discrimination, rather than narrowing the gap between the different cultural groups, by creating a distinction between the different groups.
