Further it is nice if a organization wants to help minorities. Give them a leg up, if they have an issue. But without an issue it becomes reverse discrimination.
The Rooney rule is meant to address this by giving minority candidates valuable interviews. The modification again was meant to as well. Sort of wonder if the latest modification on hiring a minority Head Coaces has back fired. Close call between two coaches and hiring the black coach gives the competition a good draft pick. Who ever thought of that is on drugs. You also need to be aware that not 3 years ago there were 7 black coaches. Maybe there is a natural eb and flow of the ethnicity of coaches.

Another question might be, "To what lengths will any industry go to ensure the make-up its workforce represent the local or national racial percentages?"
If we're going to focus on numbers and not be blind to color, it sure seems like any number of industries have a lot of work to do in order ditch their merit based systems and to get their percentages right.
