Default Federal Judge Imposes Racial Quota on FDNY, Responding to Minorities Who Failed Entra

Quote:
A federal judge is ordering the New York City Fire Department to implement racial quotas to address grievances from minorities who failed entrance exams.

On July 5 in Brooklyn, Nicholas G. Garaufis, a Clinton-appointed judge for the Eastern District of New York, issued a ruling that requires two of every five newly hired fireman to be black and one of every five, Hispanic -- until the department has fulfilled the court-ordered quota of 186 black and 107 Hispanic hires.

The ruling allows back pay -- totaling an estimated $128.7 million -- for minorities who failed written tests.

The court order is a response to a lawsuit alleging that two placement exams (Written Exams 7029 or 2043) for the FDNY were discriminatory against blacks and Hispanics, because fewer minorities passed the exam than whites. (See copies of the exams here.)

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is responsible for prosecuting cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The DOJ claims the written exams had an “unlawful disparate impact,” causing fewer minorities to be hired.

Can't pass a test so you sue screaming discrimination. Unfriggin believable.

And again we see the special rights minorities get from the government because they are a "protected class." And here I thought all men were created equal, silly me.

Jesus ****ing christ. How goddamn racist is that judge? He basically just said that blacks and hispanics are too stupid so they need to dumb down the test for them.

I can't believe blacks and hispanics aren't in an outrage over that.

Only people who believe in special rights will remain okay with that.

They're getting PAID, so they're perfectly happy with it...

Wow, thats the most racist ruling I've heard in a long time. Shouldn't be to hard to overturn a ruling that esentially says "Blacks and Browns are stupid".
