This has become a problem in so many ways, Racial Profiling, hiring a % of ect.
I am a small business owner with 2 people one being me!
If the Federal Govt came in and told me I had to hire someone I did not want, I would tell them to piss up a rope!
When I had a Liquor Store, I had 6 employees, 3 Whites and 3 Blacks, not counting myself.
I did not hire them for the Color %, I hired them for the Type of People that they are!
I have people come in all of the time and ask if I am hiring!
"I want to tell them, If you get a hair cut, shave that cheezy crap off of your face, and dress decent, maybe you could find a job! Oh being able to talk if a good point also!
As a small business man, you have to be able to trust the people who are working for you!
Hopefully they will not steal your ass blind! Margins are slim and a little bit hurts when stolen
Edited to add, if this isa National Chain, that is Incorporated, and they pull Crap like this then they are and can be in a world of S**T!
But, if a person is hired for a specic job, that is different!
EEOC, would be the Place to start, but you better be able to dead bang prove it!
