- 1595: Hiring Minorities
- ... a woman. Second, hiring women and blacks will provide role models for others. The first point Thomson quickly concedes as likely to be false.

Studies have shown that many employers discriminate (whether subconsciously or not), against both overweight and ... the past, then the next best thing seems to be to reverse the effects of discrimination in the present. The lack of presence in the upper levels of the job market is not a direct effect of discrimination. It is, as Thomson states, a lack of self- confidence and self-respect that has kept toady's blacks and women down. So the logical solution would be to renew their self-respect ...
