This company simply said the quiet part out loud. Without that whites only requirement, they would have only hired whites anyways.

Since they did say it out loud....Let it be known that Arthur Grand Technologies has racist hiring practices.
Maybe if Arthur Grand Technologies didn't want their brand associated with racism they shouldn't have told recruiters to hire only white people.
Who wants to start a lawsuit trolling company where we scrape, ingest and search for anything we can sue for discrimination and donate as much of the proceeds to charity of a competing viewpoint as we possibly can?
That requires so much effort beyond basic trolling that I doubt you will get much traction.
apparently racism is acceptable to the DOJ as long as the $38,500 premium racist tier is unlocked
I get that DOJ/DOL may be unable to fine more than they did here because of case law or statutes or whatever the fuck, but it doesn't change the fact that penalties like this are far too small to truly function as penalties
Rookie mistake. You're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.
Can we please:
A) stop allowing companies to settle with the "while not admitting any wrong doing"
B) stop fining companies finger slaps, not even hand slaps? Make fines depend on their annual revenue and see how fast they'll behave
C) start requiring companies to divulge the parson who is the source of said wrong doing, and the person who signed off on wrong doing, and prosecute these persons also individually from the company, criminally if need be
This way, companies will start behaving a lot faster, or, you know, at all.
Right now you know that this company will still hire a white dude even though they're not saying it again in the ad.
Sir that would mean rich people would be held accountable and we just can't have that kind of talk around here
I know, right?
As usual they never admitted wrongdoing... And the person in charge who made the decision was not identified or dealt with....So they'll do it again if they think they can get away with it
When Republicans talk about free speech, this is what they mean.
"Thousands of dollars" in fines is orders of magnitude too low.
Edit: also, what the actual fuck:
Under the arrangement, Arthur Grand will pay a civil penalty of $7,500, along with a total of $31,000 to 31 people who complained about the posting. The company — which is minority-owned and a federal contractor designated a disadvantaged business — will also be monitored to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
That company should've instantly lost those "disadvantaged business" and "Federal contractor" designations permanently!
That designation is so heavily gamed...
So the fine is less than what the company would pay in wages in three weeks for that position.
You're neglecting how they got those contracts to begin with.
Oh w t f, that's all crazy
We can't even hire WHITE PEOPLE now? I TOLD YOU Whites were being hated just because of our SKIN COLOR! And I'm TOTALLY NOT RACIST!
I feel you man. It's this WOKE guvment and this CANCEL culture. I make observations AND conclusions and now I'm RACIST? I'm just lucky I'm on disability.
You can't post that. Racism at work is illegal.
What happens if we're racist at work?
You get fined.
So, legal, but just not for free.
