Steve, fire-fighting is a GOOD government job--a really good one, actually. That's why there are so many applicants.

There is no doubt that people who current have the jobs have an inside-track for their friends and family.

I'm in favor of shaking up the status quo to be honest.

It will be interesting to see if any Republicans choose to make an issue out of affirmative action after the way the media ganged up on Donald Trump.

What's also interesting is how diversity completely neutralizes "progressives," because it was the progressive movement which mainly fought for civil service reform and civil service exams as an objective way to protect against patronage and corruption in government hiring.

The inferior ones will only be serving the city of Chicago, right? The bordering suburbs wouldn't be affected, right? I have family there...

I keep hearing that fires are rare nowadays because of the modern regulations, but my local ghettoesque fire department celebrates every 2 weeks without a fire because fires happen relatively often around here.

Hmmm... 90% of such positions are held by white Americans, therefore... 90% of white Americans must hold such positions!

Iberian-American thought has certainly slipped since the days of Santayana and Dos Passos.

Not complaining about anti-white discrimination arises from the same instinct that meant people did not complain about poor programming of network TV on Saturday nights.
Popular people went out on Saturday nights, so the only people who were home to get aggrieved by the programming were therefore unpopular losers. So, better to just shut up about it than complain and appear a loser.

is 90% high? low? just about right? To analyze that we'd have to compare merit and achievement with some objective metric; i.e., we'd have to use math, which people like Yglesias are terrified of. Hence the degrees in English, journalism, history, art, whatEVER it takes to get away from icky math!

Unreal how the guy just quotes a number with no frame of reference. And we're supposed to clutch our skirts, shrieking "Eek! 90 percent of some jobs are staffed by whites! This is an outrage!" so loudly that we don't ever have to explain why it's an outrage.

Are there any voices within black leadership that realize the hazards to the entire institution of affirmative action of so aggressively pursuing quotas for the fire department?

I can understand why the local organizers (the kingmaker minister of New Haven) wouldn't want to pass up really good government jobs for his people butwhat about national leadership?

It would appear that 99% of NBA millionaires are Black. Not to mention 100% of wealthy rappers, 65% of NFL millionaires, and 100% of the current President and Attorney General. If anything, Blacks at 12% of the population and dropping (slightly) are over-represented, and should give up those positions RIGHT NOW! to deserving Mexicans.

After all, who needs Kobe Bryant or Lebron James when you can have Jose from the Barrio? What skills do they have that cannot be found in "vibrant" places like East LA?

Following the example of the firefighters, what would happen if the competent (not NAM I guess) firefighters all agree to refuse to go if there is a fire in a judge's or politician's home?

Of course if this is illegal, they could always find some way (the car is broken, there is not water...). Put at work that IQ difference.

You should've linked to the text of the AP story posted earlier in the comments of another post here. It included this great line:

A spokeswoman for the city's law department called the decision a “partial victory” for the city because it reduced the number of African Americans the fire department must hire from 132 to 111.

Oops! That didn't come out right!

“Reducing the number of plaintiffs who are eligible reduces the damages,” said Jenny Hoyle.

"It’s a small sample size, but new research appears to indicate that anti-anti-racism is now the default view of white Americans who see themselves as a persecuted, put-upon minority that happens to hold over 90 percent of political offices, corporate executive jobs, and other positions of power and prestige"

http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2011/04/asian-admissions-in-boston-globe.html

"What about the argument that, in relation to the general population, Asian-Americans are already overrepresented at universities? “It’s both true that Asians are overrepresented and that they’re being discriminated against,” says Stephen Hsu, a professor of physics at the University of Oregon who speaks out against discrimination he says Asian-Americans face in university admissions. Both things can happen at the same time, he says."

Or not, says Matt. Or is there an Asian exception?

....

I also found this comment staggering, in response to the suggestion that White and Asian people were unfairly impacted by affirmative discrimination:

"Having people from different backgrounds is more useful than a couple IQ points. This is why private companies often have affirmative action even if they're not legally required to.

That, and frankly, society doesn't have legitimacy if everyone in power is white, rich, and overwhelmingly from a couple of elite high-schools. In theory, you get a meritocracy. But in reality, you get a country that's run solely for the benefit of those with "merit". And there's a big difference."


Selecting people on the basis of characteristics which aren't theoretically* earnable by someone from any background is fine if it leads to "diversity", but I can guess what this commentators reaction would be if it was "We pick WASP sales guys and Jewish accountants because it gives our customers confidence". Or if CEOs were selected due to background and experience in an upper class business mileau through family connections that was not accessible to all.

And in what sense does society "not have legitimacy" purely because the rulers are all from a single ethnic background, regardless of how fair the process of their appointment was?

*Well, we all know the truth, on a HBD basis, but remember this is the theory.

Amy Wax, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, has written a pretty good paper on the absurdities of disparate impact: Disparate Impact Realism. Quoting from the paper:

Alternatively, this paper proposes repealing the disparate impact rule altogether. The principal argument for repealing disparate impact is that, under present social conditions, racial imbalances in employment are exceedingly weak evidence of discrimination, either in the form of race-based disparate treatment or through unlawful disparate impact. The IOP data indicate that differences in the distribution of skill and human capital, not race-based exclusion or arbitrary barriers to employment, are the principal factors behind racial imbalances on the job. In light of these realities, the disparate impact rule is fatally overbroad and ensnares far too much conduct in its net. Under current social conditions, the vast majority of commonly employed selection procedures are valid and job related, and thus do not actually violate the disparate impact rule. Yet most valid personnel practices will routinely show enough adverse impact to create a prima facie case of discrimination, thereby shifting the burden of justification to employers. Given the legal uncertainties and practical difficulties of defending disparate impact claims, employers run a significant risk of being found liable regardless of whether their defense is valid, and even though they are not actually violating the rule. Virtually no aspect of the business necessity defense is settled law, so employers still face the prospect of protracted, expensive, uncertain, and resource intensive litigation to defend their practices. This encourages them to engage in perverse, inefficient, and evasive tactics, including de facto affirmative action. In sum, the overbreadth of the disparate impact rule is both inefficient and fundamentally unfair. Racial preferences are also directly at odds with the meritocratic goals of the disparate impact rule.

Why would a White want to be a firefighter in Chicago, where there are actual fires? Why not apply to the FD in some (relatively) quiet suburb, where there would be less competition, less chance of minortiy lawsutis, and where the municipality would be (relatively) less cash-strapped?

Most white people don't hold high political offices or corporate CEO positions. Those white people--ususally Jews or liberal wasps--are safe and getting richer and more powerful. No need to worry about them. Upper middle class whites/Jews/Asians of global economy are doing fine too--and trust fund babies of affluent whites in places like Portland are also having lots of fun.

MOST white people don't belong in the above-listed categories. Most of them are middle class, lower middle class, working class, and increasingly poor, and they are being hurt by the global economy(loss of manufacturing jobs and outsourcing), illegal immigration(higher crime, taxes, worse neighborhoods), rise of Asians(loss of college admission for middle class gentile whites), black problems(as more blacks are relocated into white areas), loss of lower-level government jobs to blacks and Hispanics, interracism where white women are lost to men of other races, trash culture(which encourages their girls to dress like whores), Main Street having to bail out both Wall Street and Asphalt Jungle, PC blaming everything on whites, etc.

Uglysias misses the point cuz he focuses on the cream of the crop of whites and associates ALL whites with the happy elite. That would be like saying blacks have nothing to worry about since 80% of top athletes, music stars, and etc are black(and the president too). While it's true that people like Obama, Oprah, Cosby, and Woods are doing fabulously well, things are not so good for the blacks of Detroit.
Similarly, while things may be great for Swapple yuppies and superrich whites(and Jews), things are not so great for most whites.

Also, many of the most successful whites are Jewish(and liberal), and their agenda is not to help their fellow white brethren(in fact, many Jews don't even see whites as fellow brethren though most whites see Jews as a holy brethren)but instead to hurt general white interests. Paradoxically, the great success of 'white' Jews means even less power for non-Jewish whites. Just look at the policy of Sierra Club after Jews gained control. Just look who's president as the result of Jewish power/support/money.

"Diversity" is another way in which big players can use the government to their advantage. If your outfit is big enough, you can afford the inefficiency that comes with hiring and promoting and finding non-obvious sinecures for "diversity candidates." But the mid-sized and smaller firms don't have that luxury. They're caught between laws and a culture that demands a diverse workforce, on the one hand, and the economics of needing every employee to be productive, on the other.

Same goes for handicapped-access laws.

Everyone always forgets that AA was supposed to work like this: all other qualifications being equal, the minority candidate was supposed to be considered for the job along with the others qualified.

The argument went like this--*qualified* minorities and women were not being hired even when they met or exceeded the stated criteria of the job, even when their qualifications matched those of white males, the argument being they were discriminated out of hand on the basis of race or gender. That was largely true for many positions for a long time.

Of course, in practice, that morphed into minorities and women must be hired even when their qualifications do not match those of others; and when that didn't work, it morphed into the argument that when women and minority candidates didn't meet the criteria or when all qualifications were *not* equal, the stated qualifications must be changed for they must be unfair to begin with. Gag.

No Matt it doesn't work that way.

Here goes - "the put-upon minority that DOESN'T hold 99.99% of political offices, corporate executive jobs, and other positions of power and prestige".

If 100% of the 9 Supreme court justices, 100 Senators and 500 Fortune 500 CEOs were White men that would mean 99.99% of White men DON'T hold those jobs.

Yglesias doesn't seem all that bright. Is it due to an excess of Sephardic genes at the expense of Ashkenazi ones?

When I was a graduate student the smart career move was to become a firefighter. Firemen didn't work very hard and got good money. It wasn't considered a permanent job - more of a way to further your education.

Alas I had the test scores but I didn't have the eyes. They gave you an eye test without glasses. I think the claim was that the helmet and mask kept you from wearing glasses. Something about smoke I think.

The work hours of firemen were notorious. It was common for firemen to build a boat or restore a car during work hours. My friends as firemen got advanced degrees. A fireman always had plenty of time for study.

In San Francisco the younger guys dreaded working in the Avenues - too dull. There were essentially no fires out there so the firefighters just lolled about the station all day. It was better to work the Mission or Hunter's Point - still mostly waiting about, but an occasional fire or disaster to keep you awake.

Fire fighter is not a normal job in any sense. The nearest comparable job is probably policeman but when things are slow at the station house the cops go out and pound a beat or cruise the boulevards. They do something if only just show their presence. Firemen just sit down and wait.

So at one time we were getting a lot of high scoring White graduate students with good eyes to fight our fires. Crazy, as is the modern reform that fills the fire houses with Black dullards.

In Japan their firefighters seem to spend their idle hours training for Ninja Warrior. An optimum solution.

In 1983, at the age of 20 I was working on my BS in Computer Science at a mid-level college in MA. Just for a back-up plan, I took the Firefighter test in my hometown, a suburb of Boston. In this city of 50,000 people, over 500 (mostly) young men lined up on a Saturday morning and were ushered into the local high school auditorium, issued an exam booklet, a bubble sheet, and two no. 2 pencils. Most of the test-takers were "townies" - local high school and vocational school grads, working in manual labor jobs in the area, ages 20 - 29.

I ended up scoring in the 99th percentile. And about a year later, the mayor of the town called me into his office and offered me a job as Firefighter at the princely sum of $8.50 per hour (1984). That seemed like decent money to me, but I was just one year away from my BS, so I turned down the job offer. The city ended up hiring about 5 people out of the hundreds that took the test. One of whom was my childhood friend; he quckly dropped his hardware clerk position.

Fast forward, 25 years and two masteres degrees later, I'm still working and those guys that took the job topped out at about $70K per year + $50K OT, and have retired at 45 y/o w/ $50K per year pensions.

I sometimes wonder if I made the right career decision that day, almost 30 years ago.

This is bullshit. My friend's grandmother worked as an engineer on the Manhattan Project. QUALIFIED women weren't discriminated against, but unqualified women were. Top 20% women want to displace the men who are above average and have wives and families to support. NAM's don't want to be CEO's. They just want the salary.

It really seems to me, as I've argued here, that we're de facto ending up with "weight classes" (like in boxing) but for brains.

And if that's what society wants--'we'll take this many low achievers, this many middle achievers, and this many high-achievers for this job / college spot,' then we should stop dancing around it and just admit it already. Some of these quotes from judges, etc. are so through the looking glass that they read like something from the Onion.

HA. No, not at all bullshit. I am a Boomer. I entered the teaching profession in the early seventies and found no women at all in administrative jobs at the district level and none at the school level. That's right, no women prinicipals, no women vice or assistant principals, no women deans, no women co-ordinators of curriculum...NONE in a town of moderate size in California. There were a total of 13 schools in the district at that time--one large high school, two junior highs, the rest elementary schools. Women had applied, but never seriously considered for any admin position.

The female faculty of the high school were not allowed to wear pants. The district's superintendent, the best friend of the high school's principal, deferred to him on this matter. He announced to us at a faculty meeting, when women pressed him for a change in policy, "No woman working at my school will ever be allowed to wear pants."


I tell this, however, as evidence of a time long ago when women were not even considered in many places for positions for which they were indeed qualified and often superior in talent to their male counterparts.

You should eat your own bullshit.

"Ignore the troll and he'll go away" (hope hope). LOL. Grab your balls, guys!

The funniest part is how they all were so very content talking amongst themselves and doing all the talking for the evil white racists. But when the evil white racists came along and actually spoke for themselves...crickets chirping. Nothing but facile non-response, wisecracks, name-calling, etc.

What a bunch of limp-wristed cowards. They really, really don't want to understand WTF they're talking about. Actual evil white racists explaining their positions are definitely not welcome.
