Why not choose the most qualified person?

By the way what is being proposed is actually racists and illegal. You cannot simply say "we must hire an American American Director at LLNL".

When ever you see statements like these just exchange the words "African American" or black with "White" or "Jew" and see how it sounds. If it sounds racists that is because it is no matter what race you put in.

Also I would be very careful trusting anything from Bothwell, if you know anything about him he seems like opportunists and if it suited his agenda he would be saying the exact opposite the next day.

Why would you make such a statement? "Seems like" ?

Interesting position since LLNS Staff Relations (legal department) is loaded with "people of color" meaning non-white. Why is that? Hmm.

There is no "most qualified" candidate for positions like lab Director, but there will be many equally qualified, if the hiring committee has done its job. In such cases AA/EO demands hiring the minority applicant.

AA/EEO does not "demand" anything. It is a policy of the federal government, not a law. You need to brush up on the law.
