Hire the more qualified applicant or the other applicant, who if hired could really get the business financially going with a 50,000 dollar investment from my partners grandparents. These are my thoughts in decision-making. Every company would love to have capital handed to them, but I do not know if I would want to get that money in an unethical way.

    This argument affects the merit of the company. If a company were only to be worried about not discriminating against a minority group, then they would tend to lean back from hiring the white male and would hire, for example, the African American female.

Members of a historically discriminated group are in effect not necessarily victims; consequently, compensation is not necessarily owed, in this case, hiring the African American female. Hettinger has a list of reason of how failing to hire the most qualified person is unjust.…
