Dear Welfare Queen: What aspect of the quota was artificial?
I was the beneficiary of Veterans' Preference when I got my first job with the Federal Government. Based on the test, I was at the top of the list (104%, with 5 points Vet Pref), but the employer didn't want to hire me because I did not have a college degree at that time. But he was forced to do so, because I was at the top of the list AND a veteran.
Does that count?
Vets Pref is not based upon gender or skin color and no employer has ever been required to have a certain number of vets working for them.
To compare the two is pure bullshit and you should be ashamed of yourself for even considering doing it.
It's a fair comparison. Whether required by law or not, it's still passing over qualifications in favor of status.
Same thing.
No they are not the same thing.
Can I, as a white man, qualify as a AA hire? No.
Can a black man or a woman qualify as a vet pref? Yes, just as I can only if they are actual veterans.
This Vet Pref is based upon how you have lived your life, not what you were born with.
