I just got back from lunch with a veteran police officer who is a member of an elite unit in a large metropolitan law enforcement agency. We were discussing the lowering of employee applicant standards to accommodate protected groups – minorities and women.
When I said that anytime you lower the qualifications for any one group you are also lowering them for everyone else, with the result that there will be far more white males than minorities or women who can take advantage of the lowered standards. He agreed, adding that you then end up with a lot of MARGINALLY QUALIFIED majority (white male) employees.
