Microsoft is being questioned by the US government over whether a diversity initiative amounts to racial discrimination.
The Department of Labor has singled out the firm's pledge to double the number of "black and African American" senior staff by 2025.
Officials have warned the company the target appears "to imply that the employment action may be taken on the basis of race".

Microsoft probed over aim to double black staff numbers

Seriously, people like you are part of the problem.
There is half of the third world countries that want to come to the US. A lot of these people are piss poor, uneducated and don’t even speak the language. How come they still manage to raise their status?
Yes, blacks have been discriminated, but a lot of their poor condition relies also on their own culture, because the US is the land of opportunity
Glad to see that there are still racists among us though.
Whether you're doing it to hire your white buddies or doing it to hire colorful people, it's racial discrimination.
No matter your original intent, it's going to end in tears.
