Feel free to drop out of the discussion if you want.

No, I am not. Quotas are mandatory quantifiable goals. I'm talking about business decisions that say I'm probably going to sell more if the people I have doing the selling can relate more easily to the people doing the buying. I'm doing it to increase sales, not to satisfy an arbitrary quota. And I'm not saying that everybody, or even X%, of my employees at a store in a Hispanic neighborhood need to be Hispanic. What I am saying is that if 0% are, then that is likely to have a negative impact on sales.

What I am saying is that there are clearly situations where sound business decisions say to hire people who can relate better to their prospective customers. Quotas say that X% have to come from specific groups, regardless of the business impact.

I'm really getting tired of explaining the same thing over and over and getting the same misrepresentation over and over.

See my above answer to OO. You are still advocating a hiring decision that weighs an employee's race into your hiring practices. Others on this forum seem to have a problem with that approach.
