a high degree of reverse discrimination

That phrase and "quotas" are the code words that give segregationists the most hope right now. If they can bar results, then all that is left is processes which can be made ineffective.

When I started my career the integration of professional positions at corporations had just begun. In some companies there were lots of resentment. The most successfull ones just announced that the departments would hire the best black applicants they could find and would hire a proportionate number or it would reflect on their own appraisal. The problem of discrimination was solved very quickly, there may have been residual individual personel problems, but that is the type of staffing problem that corporations know how to deal with. The problem of integration pretty much dissappeared. When I started the companies were pretty much white men in white shirts, now few can remember what the fuss was.
