“I don’t ask employers, for example, to like blacks or Jews or native people.”

I would renounce, therefore, the attempt to create heaven on earth, and focus instead on reducing the hell.

Most of us human beings tend to be parochial in our perceptions.

What happens is that we have a very limited and narrow view of our self interest and do not adequately weight the price that has to be paid on the other side for any of these measures we are promoting.

I ask employers to hire the qualified members of thesegroups whether they likethem or not.
