Worried about all the hoops you have to jump through to document that your company has engaged in the requisite amount of race, ethnicity, and gender discrimination, i.e., followed all affirmative action requirements? Fret no more, for BALANCEaap Software is here to help you. According to the company’s press release:
BALANCEaap is an affirmative action software solution that provides an automated way to prepare OFCCP compliant affirmative action plans. BALANCEaap also produces plans that contain all reports required by the OFCCP, including adverse impact analyses, narrative sections, VETS-100, and EEO-1 Reports.
Even better, the new, revised version has even added compliance with the “Eighty Percent/Whole Person utilization rule,” and according to the description on the company’s web site (linked above), the new version is also “Compatible with New Race Codes.”
I know you were concerned about that, and I don’t blame you. No respectable employer wants to be caught using the old, discarded race codes when new, improved ones are available.
Good gravy, back when the Constitution was written, black slaves were deemed to count as 60% of a person for purposes of apportionment. It’s enough to make us doubt that there is such a thing as progress.
Before my stepfather died at age 93, he used to say he feared for the future of the republic. How right he was, how wrong I was to doubt him.
Huh. This is pretty damn racist.
It’s sort of odd how people take such cavalier attitudes towards race quotas when they’re ostensibly used to “benefit” minorities (and only favored ones, at that; remember, Asians and Jews are both groups of minorities who’ve faced severe discrimination in the past within this country and without, and yet they’re officially discriminated against in our colleges). The language against racism as used by defenders of affirmative action is harsh, uncompromising, and strident, as it should be. Whence the difference when discussing racial quotas whose goal, though said to be to the benefit of certain favored groups, is to disadvantage some groups so greatly that other groups are thereby advantaged?
