In my opinion, employers shouldn't be blind to private beliefs or race or gender or any of the other protected classifications.
Disagree.
They ideally should be blind, however I don't think rigid qutas or equating inequality of outcome with inequality of opportunity is helping anyone.
In my estimation the best solution currently available to us is to keep government completely blind on ethnicity or even give preference to some groups while letting the private sector complete freedom to choose in this regard and let the market handle it.

We tried this. We made up laws to change it because there was blatant, rampant discrimination that was not based on any kind of empirical data.
