“When businesses fire/hire people, they need to start with the worst performers. When businesses do lay-offs, they need to start with the operations that were the biggest money drains or contributing the least to the bottom line.”

That became history on September 24, 1965, with Affirmative Action. Discrimination based on race, color, religion, and national origin by those organizations receiving federal contracts and subcontracts became illegal.

As an aside, part of the magic of laying off a group of workers is that it is difficult to prove individual discrimination.
