#4 The whole kick off of affirmative action (AA - and no I don't think the name of the society for drunks is a co-incidence) was Griggs vs. Duke Power Co. which held that a test that discriminated based on issues that were not a factor in the job were illegal. Enter the courts and now any test that shows adverse impact on "minorities" is verboten.
