Any attempts by the government to force businesses to employ those supposedly subject to discrimination is both patronizing and counterproductive—patronizing because it suggests that the group is incapable of obtaining a job on its own merits, or that their kind is so hated that, even though they are best suited for the job, none will employ them; and counterproductive because granting extra-legal privileges to one group invariably makes every other group revile them and so increases prejudices and discrimination.
