Of course, he would never get away with it. Everyone would realize that he is a hypocrite and that his anti-merit hiring threatens to destroy the company. All have agreed to hire many more black employees, not merely as actors on-screen, but also as writers and producers. And in an explicit embrace of racial quotas, NBC vowed to hire at least one black writer for every second-year series. These agreements have nothing to do with fighting racism instead, their purpose is to promote it.
Racism is the elevation of membership in a racial group over individual merit.
The injustice of racism, and the reason it must be opposed, is that it demands that individuals of ability be ignored or attacked for no other reason than their skin color. Blacks are specifically targeted for hiring before any individual actor or writer has even been interviewed for the job, before anyone has assessed the quality of his work, and before anyone has determined whether any particular black person is the best candidate for the position. An organization that was actually concerned with fighting racism would take the opposite approach. Rather than advocate the indiscriminate hiring of token blacks, such an organization would highlight cases of individuals with demonstrable talent who are being unjustly ignored by some business. It would legitimately generate public criticism of such practices by showing that individuals are being excluded because of their race.
