now appearing a quantifiable differential between those who achieve and those who have not

| 12. Today
many companies and organizations have instituted hiring practices that go beyond what had
been usual in order to hire minorities. If a company or organization wants to
promote diversity among its employees, it need only follow one rule: Hire the most
qualified person based upon education, experience and willingness to work hard. That
will automatically promote appropriate diversity... unless there are not diverse people
able to meet performance standards. Then these companies and organizations will be
stuck with the most competent, hard working and highest caliber work forces available. |

| 13. If you
work in a company that hires based upon quotas of any type or experienced discrimination
of any kind:
"Internal, artificially imposed imbalances forced upon an organization, company,
or nation toward the negative eventually cause
self-destruction from within."
Consider: The Democratic National Party after
recent layoffs of 10 minority workers,
several visible companies large and small... take
your choice of many with excess
overheads, and Yugoslavia, etc. |
