Like the right point of view. I don't mean Republican or Democrat. I mean point of view. You're intelligent people. You know what I'm getting at.
People hire people like themselves.
People who look like themselves, people who laugh at the same jokes, people with whom they think they can identify. That's partly human nature, and that's partly based on how we all stereotype each other. I'm not going to suggest for a minute that there's anything that any government policy can do about that. But a policy, like Affirmative Action, can protect one group from being shut out by another. It can prevent perfectly capable, qualified blacks, Latinos, Asians, American Indians and yes, white women, from being cut out of the economic pie.
