If the minority candidate had a terrible interview or flew a substandard sim ride and was not hired but the white male interviewed good and flew an adequate sim ride, who would you hire?

Did AA fail if they hire the white male because he demostrated he is a better candidate for the job?

If they choose to hire the minority because the EOC has to be satisfied, did AA work although they demonstrated substandard flying skills as well as a poor interview? Sounds like a freaking hand out to me.

I think you guys really have a misunderstanding of what affirmative action is. Its NOT about hiring quotas. Its about making sure employers dont discriminate against anyone. Not just blacks. It includes whites, females, gays and everyone else. evryone thinks its centered around black people because thats probably wher eit started but today it covers everyone.
