So let me ask it in revised form as we have decided to focus on the wording and not the context.
I do not think it is fair when one population is preferred for employment over another based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation. Do you? Pat already answered but I really cannot tell you if he said yes or no.
Since I wasn't quoted in the post I was under the assumption the question had not been asked of me, and so I was not attempting to answer it. I was merely commenting on how the question you were asking was not representative of the situation described in the OP.
I have no problems with preference given to hires based on any demographic qualifier. I disagree with quotas and I disagree with people being disqualified because of a demographic qualifier, but preference in an attempt to further diversity is not something I have an issue with.
