My criteria for hiring:
1. Is this person going to stay in the position for more than a year and is it worth my while to train them? Or is this job just a springboard?
2. Can this person handle the job (i.e. intelligence and aptitude)
3. Can this person handle stress?
4. Does this person have a passion for the job or is it just a "job"?
Once those things have been determined, I hire who will best fill the position, regardless of ethnicity.

Well Dane... AA isn't intended for you... It's the other 95% of possible (racist) employers.
