I was just wondering if you, or if you aware if a company you work for, is hesitant to hire minorites (any protected group) because you don’t want to deal with being accused of racism, or agism, or wind up “stuck” with an employee if they underperform. I personally have never hired based on race or age at all, and have never had a problem, but I certainly hear many people, especially people who work for the government, complain about this very thing. So, I was just wondering if having these protections might actually backfire, leaving people less likely to hire a minority in the first place.
