Racial, Gender Quotas in the Financial Bill?

 

By Diana Furchtgott-Roth

 

http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2010/07/08/diversity_in_the_financial_sector_98562.html

 

“…Section 342, which declares that race and gender employment ratios, if not quotas, must be observed by private financial institutions that do business with the government. In a major power grab, the new law inserts race and gender quotas into America's financial industry.”

 

Right!

I worked for an 8a company in Oak Ridge, TN.  As soon as that “woman owned/minority owned” company graduated from their special 8a status… they folded.  The 8a classification is race and gender based affirmative action and NOTHING to do with competency.

I don't believe in quotas. I've known a few 8A companies that folded after they lost their status. In fact, one company my BIL worked for, reorganized and made him President (he is half Japanese) so they could gain 8A status.
