AA tells a company that if you have two candidates for employment who both meet the required credentials, you have to pick the minority candidate IF and ONLY IF your minority quota has not been fulfilled. The whole reason it was enforced was because Equal Opportunity did not then exist in the workforce and still doesn't (It may not be as bad as it was, but the hiring biases are still there). It's a common misconception that less qualified minorities are taking jobs from the "whites who deserve them", but if that scenario actually did happen, those white people would be able to file for a discrimination suit (but they don't, because they know the qualifications were met). |
Can't two people meet the same qualfications for something... and one person be more qualified?
I think you seem to be missing that.
