What, no “gays?”
Appeal to a higher court and don’t stop until this judge is overturned!
quota’s are unconstitutional, the supreme court will slap this clown down, no need to worry.
It won’t take long. The supreme Court has ruled that quotas are illegal.
The judge’s ruling is evidence that he believes blacks and Hispanics are not as intelligent as whites. Institutional racism like this should be stomped out.
He would not be impressed.
the keelhaulin’s going in the wrong direction here...
I am a fireman and I can tell you that I will not go into a burning building with anyone that just barely passes the Firefighter coutse but is promoted because of race.
I want the best and the brightest running the show, no matter what their race is
A few weeks ago I read that the Chicago PD was considering eliminating their entrance exam because...
...my first reaction is disbelief...then a slow sadness sets in...is this the way the country is headed?...is it only going to get worse?....how did it happen that minorities get to go to the head of the line?...regardless of their performance.
Doesn’t this already violate a SCOTUS ruling, at least in college admissions? Why wouldn’t it also cover hiring?

We’re in the Twilight Zone folks! The FDNY now has to hire minorities who didn’t to as good as the whites and Asians on the test. Why not hire midgets, 100 lb. women, disabled folks, drug addicts, and parolees? I mean let’s be politically correct.
I’m sure it is going straight up the ladder (no pun intended). Too much recent case law to slap it down without prejudice (dang, I did it again!)
I think we should put quotas on SCHOOLS...they have to hire a certain percentage of CONSERVATIVES!
Here’s another article on the case
“A Federal judge is threatening to impose racial hiring quotas on the FDNY if the city doesn’t get moving on compensation for hundreds of minorities who suffered discrimination.
In the meantime, Judge Nicholas Garaufis ordered “priority hiring” of two blacks and one Hispanic out of every five new hires.
They will be drawn from a pool of 293 test-takers who would have gotten jobs if the Fire Department’s exams weren’t racially biased, he said.
“
What’s next, the police department has to set aside job spots for convicted felons?
This is ridiculous. This just screams to minorities that the government believes that they are substandard and can’t compete on their own.
In an attempt to create fake equality, it creates real animosity.
“judges ruling is evidence that he believes blacks and Hispanics are not as intelligent as whites.”
Bush labelled such patronizing paternalism “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”
This is what the Left has always wanted: equal outcome, not equal opportunity.
