When I've hired people I was always advised to judge it on two things mostly, suitability for the job and how well their personality would mesh with the other employees. Sometimes the best person for the job isn't always the most suitable, sometimes you look for a good attitude and potential instead of raw suitability. I've personally have never been made to make an employment decision based on race or anything else. Hell, most companies I've worked for won't even ask that kind of stuff until after you've been employed and you have to fill out your details and such.
Actually the debate today was about black people complaining it was refreshing to hear other black peoples ring in to say they had a chip on their shoulder and if you are qualified for the job you will get it, just as you indicated Dezzy

But someone else suggested that companies might hire people to fill diversity quotas, I assumed Dezzy was responding to that.

We don't all assume the same things, that's the whole point of a discussion

Which is why anyone should be able to bring their opinions to the table.
