I did not say it was mandatory, nor did I specify context. I might do it because I want to cure racial tension, and therefore promote workplace integration. As long as the person hired is qualified, there is nothing wrong with that. As for the PR, the fact is that if it helps increase my customer base, or ensures its loyalty, it is a smart business decision. My wife raises a lot of money from corporations interested in public relations opportunities with the members of the professional association she works for, because it increases or defends market share for them to sponsor association activities, much as corporations sponsor programs on PBS.......

Let's say that you run Public University. Maybe one of the best in the Country. The voters in your state have passed a law dropping affirmative action, including using race (or ethnicity) in admissions. What do you do as slowly, asians students begin to outnumber all other groups, including whites? Since a college education is now a very large factor in future income, wouldn't you be a little concerned, having an ethnic mix of say: 45% Asian, 40% White, 15% for everyone else (Hispanics, African Americans, Native American)?
