The question still is not about the numbers (it never is). The question is whether blacks get preferential hiring treatment over more qualified whites. If so, then the EEOC could be sued for discrimination. If the discrepancy is simply because blacks are more interested in EEOC positions, and apply at a much higher rate, then there's not a discrimination problem. See how that works?
Exactly. Stone and qman, you have yet to show a case where a company was successfully sued on the basis of having too few minorities. The question is whether or not a company actively discriminates, not how many minorities they hire.
If two equally qualified (however that is defined for the position) candidates apply and the minority one is chosen, it is fine. However, if the majority or minority candidate is less qualified and they are chosen, it could be discrimination. That is what a company can get sued for. Numbers do not form the basis of a lawsuit, but can provide evidence.

Why shouldnt a business be able to discriminate? What about women only gyms? Can I sue them? Do you let everyone into your house who cones to your door? Can I sue you if you don't let me in?

That's the bullshit rationalization the EEOC uses to get its quotas, apparently you're gullible enough to believe it's propoganda.
It's funny that they only go after companies that have a below black population relative percentage? I wonder why? Why can't there be "discriminatory hiring practices" when the black percentage exceeds the normal relative percentage? Somehow the EEOC is just fine with those circumstances.

No one has provided evidence of hiring quotas; it's all just a conspiracy theory.

You can call it a quota or a wet fart. It still smells like shit.
Does the federal government have a quota system that they have the stones to call a quota system? No, but it doesn't mean there isn't one. If they can sue because you don't have enough minorities, it's a quota system.

First of all, the article I linked to was about Buffalo firefighters, not New Haven. But regardless, white firefighters won in BOTH of those cases, because they were wrongfully discriminated against. It was totally incorrect to say whites can't win discrimination cases.
And no, I don't consider myself special just because I point out the flaws of your arguments; anyone can do that.

We're still waiting for anyone to show a case where that's happened. In all cases shown thus far, discrimination was the deciding factor, not numbers.

Anyone can. Perhaps someday you will. Based on past performance, you lack the ability.
Regardless of your inability to do so, it doesn't matter what you call it. If you can be sued for not having enough minorities, it's a quota.

Businesses shouldn't be able to discriminate because we've decided as a society that we shouldn't allow it.
Women only gyms are fine because part of their business model is for women who feel uncomfortable around men and want a safe place. Moreover, men can go to any number of other gyms, it is not like they are being denied a service entirely.
I'm not going to answer the question about houses because you know as well as I that it is a ridiculous argument.

Because if a company doesn't discriminate against blacks then the population won't be lower. Whoops, what I meant to write is: If the population of blacks is not lower, then the company doesn't discriminate against them. It makes no sense to pursue companies who aren't being discriminatory.
Quote:

Those can indeed be cases of discriminatory hiring practices. But just using the number of workers of each race is not enough to build a case.

That's not true at all. Why don't you assume that black discriminate against the company? What about statistical fluctuation? What about real cultural difference of values that lead to different skill sets and proclivities? What about places that are filled with blacks, do they discriminate against whites? No, that is not sufficient evidence to label them with one of the worst labels our society puts on people and groups.

My mistake, I got my wording backwards. What I meant to right is: "If the population of blacks is not lower, then the company doesn't discriminate against them." I'll change it.

NYCFD sued because of an insufficient number of blacks.

They aren't hard to find.

They aren't hard to find.
The New York City Fire Department is not a company; they are government owned. Also, while the numbers may have brought the case up, the lawsuit was ultimately filed because of a written test that the FD used that did not test skills necessary for the job, but that (allegedly) was more difficult for minorities with worse education. So, the lawsuit was not because of a quota, but because of a possibly discriminatory hiring practice.
The case was resolved in a bit of a bullshit way though.
Quote:
The city, which was taken to court over allegations of institutional bias against minority FDNY applicants, agreed to “broad injunctive relief and back pay,” according to the Center for Constitutional Rights.
Why should they get back-pay? At one point there was also an argument for retroactive seniority, which would be even more bullshit, but I don't know if it was part of the settlement.

Please read your own article:
Quote:
The judge concluded after the trial that the low percentage of minorities in the FDNY is “a direct result and vestige of the city’s pattern and practice of discrimination against black firefighter candidates.”
Quote:
The judge had ruled previously that the FDNY’s entrance test unfairly discriminates against black and Hispanic applicants.
It also bears repeating that I asked for an example of a COMPANY being sued, not a government organization. I recognize that affirmative action can get pretty egregious in the government, but this thread has been discussing whether the government forces affirmative action upon private companies.
