Is this discrimination??

[GregV814]

Any newspaper, any town has a classified ad section for bid proposals to construct s building, renovate or pave a highway, etc... These are Government contracts.

Anyway there is a stipulation that it has to be a minority owned or operated bidder ONLY.

Without any other “what if’s” is this discrimination??? Yes or no..

Yes, it is discrimination.

Sure is, but it's legally codified, so nothing to see here.

A company I used to work for had to hire a certain percentage of minority subcontractors in order to do work for Baltimore City. On the projects that I worked on we ended up doing the actual work they were hired to do. They were mostly incompetent and were used on paper only.

Part of affirmative action

It's absolutely discriminatory

 

[stgislander]

What happens if no bids are received? Work doesn't get done?

Affirmative Action---Quota's---it's all a form of discrimination.
But discrimination against the white man is perfectly all right.
In fact it's encouraged.
