Every few years this problem gets mentioned in the press, and then it goes into the background once again without anything changing. When I moved here, the first thing I noticed when I went to all the county offices to register vehicles, get a driver's license, make property tax arrangements, etc., was the total lack of caucasian people in the offices. When I commented about this to a Japanese neighbor, she told me that rampant racial discrimination has been rife thoughout the county hiring process for decades.
Perhaps a massive lawsuit $$ award would create some incentive to change this. And yes, some will say that this is OK because of past discrimination against non-whites, but it isn't. Some large damages have been awarded to white victims of discrimination. It is wrong no matter who does it.
