    The Title VII’s disparate-impact provision inhibits employment practices that have the unintentional effect of race discrimination (Walsh, 2016, p.114). Even though Congress enacted Title VII for the main purpose of confronting racial discrimination in the workplace, courts have continued to struggle to appropriately address the prevalence of subtle racial discrimination that burdens minority applicants/employees today (Ritenhouse, 2013). Another legal issue included in this case is North Hudson refusing to implement non-discriminatory hiring procedures that do not disproportionately exclude African-Americans from employment without evidence of business need. The employer also refused to correct the effects of previous discriminatory practices. As an end result of this case, the District Court held that the employer’s business-necessity justification was insufficient and that there were alternative means to achieve the goals stated that were less

    In Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin (“Fisher II”), the United States Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality of the University of Texas’s (“University”) affirmative action policy, the impact of which is being widely debated. Some commentators fear that the Court is poised to end affirmative action altogether, thus causing reduction in the number of minorities who are admitted to universities across the country. Others believe that the Court should use Fisher II to invalidate all race-conscious policies and endorse a color-blind admissions process. Such concerns, and the expectations of those who would like to see affirmative action eliminated, are overstated. A careful analysis of the issues in Fisher II, including the Justices’

  • 14th Amendment Vs Title Vii

    967 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are two routes to addressing racial discrimination under the law, the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. These routes both intend to eliminate the threat of racial discrimination, but do so through different means and criteria. The 14th Amendment provides equal protection under the law in order to “prevent official conduct discriminating on the basis of race” (Han, pg. 63), but does not explicitly define discrimination. Claims brought under the 14th amendment apply specifically to public institutions and must include evidence of both malicious intent and the discriminatory effects that resulted partially ‘because of’ this intent (Han, pg. 64). Title VII acts as a supplement to the 14th Amendment by using statutory law to prohibit overt discrimination or business practices with discriminatory effects (Tara, Study Group, 2/13/17).

    Stella, I enjoyed reading your post for this week; I found it to be pretty interesting. I did not realize the different factors you have to take into consideration in order to determine if a crime was a “bias” crime. I thought there would be a specific list that would help determine what crimes are bias crimes, however as we learned from this chapter a list like that does not exist. Every crime is different so each must be evaluated individually in order to determine if the crime is a bias or hate crime.

Most of the time you will see a African American, and he would be a high ranked employe in a very powerful company.

  • Summary Of Discrimination By Kenneth Rexroth

    216 Words  | 1 Pages

    The short poem “Discrimination” by Kenneth Rexroth, features a narrator whose monologue about his disdain of the human race mocks the thought of discrimination against other races. Rexroth uses tone to mock the statements usually made by those who feel superior to other races or groups to illustrate how pompous it sounds. Rexroth uses the line “I don’t mind the human race,” to show that the narrator feels superior to humanity, giving off an overconfident feeling, and making the narrator feel distant from the narrator, and not sympathize with what he says. He also has the narrator claim that he wouldn’t mind if people sat next to him on street cars or ate in the same restaurants, which brings memories of the era of segregation. In addition,

    Lookism should be classified as a civil rights issue similar to racism and sexism. Appearance does matter but when it comes down to discriminating someone for his or her look it isn’t something that should be allowed. It is wrong for someone to be discriminated based on the way he or she look or dress. Sometime this could be overlooked in many situations such as workforce, business, school, and any other organization. There should be an end up judgment when it comes toward a person appearance.

From slavery to anti-semitism, every moral boundary that has been universally defined, has been sanctioned from recurrence. Lastly, the only exceptions to this are refutable under the scope of bigotry. Another issue that can be substantially assuaged, is the matter of hate crimes between diverse groups within society.

  • Disadvantages Of Psychometric Tests

    Some people argue that the cons of psychometric testing outweigh its pros. In many cases, top-notch applicants are ruled out of a job because psychometrics are used as a default barometer, with all subsequent decisions based on it. One of the biggest problems is that psychometric tests frequently contain biases that work against applicants from different cultural backgrounds, who face language barriers or even just simple anxiety about testing. They might sometimes be the best person for the job, but are automatically eliminated because of the process. Besides, the standard psychometric tests are already well known and easily accessed.
