I had a contract with TVA that required lisitng racial minorities. There was no quota, just reporting.
A young man, a full blooded Alaskan Eskimo, (iniuit?) wandered in looking looking for a job. I hired him to work in the metal fab shop. He was a good worker.
Later, my book keeper asked me about him and the TVA report. She asked him and reported his presence. Later, I got a call from the Department of Labor regional office in Atlanta advising of the penalty for false reporting and really, did I have an bonefide Eskimo.
The answer was no, he was jailed for drunkeness and assault and couldn’t come to work. He had followed a girl to East Tennessee and her father was severely pissed off. He called the Sheriff and the kid was arrested.
Even later we learned he hung himself in jail. It was true love gone very, very bad.
