Groups that were overrepresented, based on the 2000 census, include “Black or African Americans, Asians, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders, American Indian/Alaska Natives and men,” the report says.

Interesting. The composition of the the U.S. Congress is:

–83% men, 17% women
–77% white, 8% black, 5% Hispanic, 1% Asian and ,<1% Native American

This means the U.S. Congress is over-represented by white men.

Must be some kind of government plantation.

Off Topic maybe but here goes: Anyone, and I mean anyone, who stands on a street corner in Los Angeles will tell you the same thing I’m telling you – I haven’t seen an Anglo driving a Metro Bus in over twenty years. How in the hell is it there are no Caucasian bus drivers? Did they all quit applying for these jobs all at once? Label this post racist if you want but it is the TRUTH. In my opinion this is the legacy of Mayor Tom Bradley and his affirmative action policies in the seventies. He traded one form of racism for another. So who are the ones over-represented here? Thanks Tom.

The EEOC, the NLRB, and any of 100s of other minor agencies pitting employees against the employer, all expendable IMO.

What the hell ever happened to free association?

The means of redistribution are endless.

Just like the means of taxation are endless.

If you could ever find them all and sum them, they would probably together amount to more than 50% of the GDP.

Same as jobs in higher education—gotta represent, and then overpay those incompetent people for earning their “degrees” thanks to as much affirmative action as can possibly be applied.

Of course by mentioning those numbers they aren’t “technically” calling for quotas in federal employment…BUT…they’re just saying.

If I worked in a government office, I would be fired for being a racist.

The great untold story of the election is how it has emboldened the criminal constituencies that the Moron represents.

It’s shocking that this clear example was published in WaPo. Of course, they probably see it as a good thing, instead of an example of losers and criminals ripping of productive citizens.

And as a side note, what would be the average annual income of America’s minority populations if income from lawsuits was included. Why, this report shows that for the federal workforce alone, for this one narrow area of the law, $50 million was collected by minorities. And the federal workforce is only about 2% of the total workforce. It’s safe to assume that $250 million is the low-end number for “discrimination” claims for the entire economy.

But that is dwarfed by “slip and fall”, “medical malpractice”, and “looking at me cross-eyed” lawsuits. The medical malpractice claims alone are about $100 billion per year. Who would bet that miniorities rake in less than 50% of that?

It’s good work if you can get it.

Later, we’ll talk about the hundreds of billions of your dollars that liberals funnel to minority communities through Medicare fraud, and the other hundreds of billions through SSI fraud, and the other hundreds of billions through government contracts going to “minority businesses”. Maybe someday, we’ll have time to discuss welfare, and billions of dollars of free health care, and billions of dollars of free education, and hundreds of billions of dollars of free mortgages, and tax credits and mortgage loans and student loans that will never be repaid.

One only has to walk into ANY government office, be it federal, state, or local, and see with your own eyes which races are being overrepresented. Of course, this is by design. God forbid an Anglo with better credentials and abilities gets a goverment job!
