On paper quotas may be illegal, but do you really think that quotas aren't being filled?
I don't think that white folks are getting pushed out of jobs, but I find it hard to believe that there isn't some sort of pressure to fill job openings with minorities. Especially in high profile coaching jobs in the NFL, where the P.R. people can trot out minority coaching candidates to show the "Racially-sensitive" public that corporations can be good guys too.
I don't think you're going to change the establishment overnight, nor do I think that you're going to legislate "equality." I think that has time passes and the older generation gives way to the new, that there's going to be a positive shift in race relations.
Who knows? Maybe someday we can shift our focus to what's really important about somebody, not the color of their skin, but rather how much money they make?
