Are oil companies discriminating against women since you don’t see them in the fields?
Drunk driving has been illegal for a while too....
I would guess that there are vastly more male applicants, just as there is vastly more female teachers. It is only discrimination if the ratio of qualified minority applicants is different from the ratio of hired minorities. And yes, it would be discrimination too if more minorities were hired. But I am not sure if that is always wrong, if it was the other way around for a long time. Affirmative action was made illegal even in California, so I understand my position isn't popular.
