I believe they call that (hiring based on race) illegal discrimination.

Does not apply to independent contractors.

Not sure that applies in a business where they hire based on multiple factors.

Walgreens or Walmart might hire you for a job and still put you in a location where you look like or represent the company. That is not discrimination, that is putting people where they will succeed or help grow the company.

And as said, we are independent contractors, people all the time reject the terms of the contract.

I also doubt it would be even close to discrimination when the majority of the representation of the staff looks nothing like the participants and the people doing the assigning are using a small percentage of their staff to give them certain assignments.

Does not apply to protected classes either. Meaning it is not illegal to hire a protected class over an unprotected class, especially to meet your Affirmative Action plan...assuming the two candidates are of equal ability and meet the job description.

Not saying it's right or wrong and not trying to make it political. Just pointing out it is not illegal to hire based on race in some instances.
