        There is a second kind of discrimination for that says "I
don't want ot hire any lazy niggers, but the government says I got
to". It is *this* that is being promoted by Affirmative Action, it
would take a quite different approach to get the "benifit of the doubt"
scenario you mentioned. To get that you must get the employer to
cooperate voluntarily, because he sees it as a good thing.
