Great substack about a book, and a great discussion about the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Proponents swore it would never be used to retard Meritocracy... by 1965 the Burger Court declared all general skill/aptitude tests by private companies illegal.
Proponents swore it would never be used to get forced bussing ... the Burger Court imposed that just 3 years after it was signed.

Hanania’s take on affirmative action involves the government sending companies a message like this:

We notice your workforce has fewer minorities than the applicant pool.

If this remains true, we’ll sue you for millions of dollars and destroy your company. So by the next time we check, your workforce had better have exactly many minorities as the applicant pool.

But you’re not allowed to explicitly favor minority applicants over whites. You certainly can’t do anything flagrant, like set a quota of minority employees equal to their level in the applicant pool.

Have fun!
