qman, now the left wing brigade will have to make up a new story to believe in and repeat over and over.
-------------------- “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

"The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission say McCormick & Schmick's agreed to settle their lawsuit...The settlement establishes a $1.3 million claims fund for eligible employees at the two restaurants. McCormick & Schmick's has also AGREED TO NUMERICAL GOALS FOR HIRING BLACK APPLICANTS."
Nothing to see here, no quotas, just move on people. 
Looks like that company was facing a shit storm in court over their hiring practices so they AGREED to have a quota to assuage the vitriol. Sucks for them, but this still isn't an example of the government forcing a quota upon a private company.

So your response to both provided examples of government quotas boils down to ... uh-uh.
Face it, you lost that battle. The company in the article qman linked to didn't suddenly decide to adopt a quota. If the EEOC hadn't sued them, there would have been no settlement.

Actually, my response to your example was to point out that it isn't a private company (very important) and that they were sued for having a test that was allegedly discriminatory, not for having quotas.
My response to qman's example was to point out that although the company got boned into accepting a quota now, they weren't sued for not meeting a quota.
In both of these examples, you seem to be missing the crucial point. While the EEOC may be overzealous at times, I've yet to see an example of a private company being sued for not employing enough minorities, as has been claimed multiple times in this thread. Yet no one has yet been able to provide an example of that happening. In each example the companies minority hiring levels could be tied directly to some discriminatory practice.

"In a lawsuit originally filed in 2008, the EEOC also charged that black front-of-the-house workers hired at the McCormick & Schmick's and M&S Grill restaurants in Baltimore were denied equal work assignments because of their race, and that the chain's advertising for job opportunities on its website had previously contained “visual depictions of employees that expressed a preference for nonblack workers to the ordinary reader.”"
They weren't sued because they didn't have enough black people. They got sued because they allegedly refused to hire black people. There's a very big difference.

But not enough to meet the quota which must never be called a quota, always something else. Its amazing how much the extreme left is in denial about these things.

A company denying any wrongdoing? Never seen that before! There's no way they would just say that to protect themselves. 
Regardless, you're still missing my point. Them company was sued for an allegedly discriminatory hiring practice at a couple stores. NOT because they didn't have enough black employees.

You have no point, I made my case.
We just continue to go in circles on this topic, I provide evidence of the EEOC busting companies for not having enough of black workers (quotas) and you say it not quotas it's discriminatory hiring practices. 
I provide evidence of the EEOC and the company agreeing to a quota system going forward and you say the company agreed to it and it sucks to be them, but still no quota. 
You lost this debate, I don't think it was even close.

Because in every example you provided, the EEOC could point to a specific thing the employer was doing, say it was discriminatory, and provide reasoning for the claim. If that doesn't count as discriminatory hiring practices, then how would you define a discriminatory hiring practice?

Yes, this one company agreed to a quota system. This is not the same as the EEOC forcing quotas on every company.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You do make a few good points once in a while, even if you're not able to back your argument in this case.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I guess we have a different idea of what "defeated" means. To me, it means you have failed to show an example of private companies having to meet a quota. To you, it means you've claimed victory, in spite of not having supporting evidence.

Actually, lots of evidence was shown but you in characteristic fashion admit nothing. If they call it a different word than quota you say there are no quotas. Will you feel better if you get downsized than if you get fired?

A perfect example to illustrate the point.
Losing a job because your company is downsizing and because you are fired for poor performance are different, even if the end result is the same to you. Similarly, not getting hired because of a hiring quota, and not getting hired because of discrimination are also different. A company can hire 0 minorities and still not get in any trouble if they are not discriminating. Similarly, a company can hire 51% minorities, but still get in a lot of trouble if they are discriminating. Two different things, whether you care about one more than the other or not.

They say they are downsizing or they say you are fired, no difference. But you go out the door feeling great because they said downsize instead of fired. Go out and celebrate then.
>A company can hire 0 minorities and still not get in any trouble if they are not discriminating.
Show me one large company that has 0 minorities and has not gotten into trouble? Just one.
