I get so sick and tired of being told that a business should hire so many differnt persuasions!
When I had My previous business, I had 2 white and 3 black , 1 latino and 3 Female workers, we were all friends and would go out after closeing and have drinks and play pool! We would meet at each others houses to do a little BBQ and relaxing!
Right now, I am working the whole thing myself 6/11s simply for the fact that most people who come in need a haircut, shave, and decent clothes! I lost my only and best help because of racial personage running her off!
Being a small business owner does not give anyone of you the right to tell me I have to hire someone because of race or gender! If you think you can then you and the US Govt. may kiss my unwashed ASS!
Over do rightous people make me sick at my stomache!!!!

Tom, I think you missed the point. This thread is not about affirmative action, but rather should it be within a companies right to hire employees that fit a certain look rather than on ability?
If A & F is using hiring practices that revolve around a certain look (which appears not to include minorities) rather than ability, then I would say that they are discriminating, and that is illegal.
As a small business owner, wouldn't you rather hire someone who had the ability to do the task they are assigned to do or hire someone who fits a certain look you're going for even if they are a few bricks short of a load?
