i think you don’t understand my point at all.

You are correct in saying the Majority of white (80%) will have better odd of getting a call back compared to an average black person.

But while forcing company to use hiring quota will help the the black population. it will make it harder for poor white people to get hired as compared to poor black people.

you could say it’s acceptable collateral damage but you can’t say it’s not true .

I specifically don't agree as a poor white person that I have it harder than a poor black person of identical qualifications nor do I see any affirmative action policies as applied anywhere changing this even if they became pervasive.
