Itβs happening at my department. The city manager posted evaluation criteria for the fire chief and the first bullet point was higher recruitment of minority candidates.

I donβt give two shits what someone looks like. What I do care about is whether or not they can do their job effectively. There are a lot of tasks to get done on the scene of a fire, car accident, medical call, etc, and I donβt have time to worry about my share of the job and babysit someone else because the city wants to lower hiring standards just because the city manager is butt hurt that people of a given ethnic group arenβt getting hired in droves. Guess what, they arenβt applying in droves. We had 350 something applicants at our last hiring process. If 300 of them were white and 50 of them were black, and we hire 20 white people and 4 black people, then I donβt really understand where the confusion is.
If I had it my way, the racial and gender demographic section of the job application would be removed. I work with white people, black people, Asian, Hispanic, men, women, homosexuals, heterosexuals, name it. Guess what, some of them are rock stars, and some of them are fucking useless. Competence doesnβt discriminate.

Can you provide any sources on employers hiring unqualified minorities or are you speculating?
