Respondent: Of course.
Pollster: Why?
Respondent: He's always going to do what I expect him to do.
Pollster: How so?
Respondent: Without fail he'll always do the wrong thing.

Democrats have used the occasion of the financial regulatory overhaul to place racial and gender quotas on not only the financial industry, but anyone who contracts with the financial industry through the use of "diversity czars". (Technically the diversity czar would oversee fairness in hiring practices and promote diversity, anyone believe that's not going to be a quota? If so, raise your hand and keep it up until I come by and kick you.) The article quotes a source citing the cost of this bill as in excess of $20 million. This portion of the bill has been attributed to Representative Maxine Waters (D. Cal.), chair of the idiots who make up the Congressional Black Congress (does that mean they don't represent the other races in their districts?) who think Cuba is heaven. You may remember Mrs. Waters as the upstanding individual who directed stimulus funds to a bank with ties to her husband (he was a director of the bank).
In any case, clearly this was a necessary step in order to prevent future financial meltdowns. After all, it has been clearly demonstrated that the low percentage of hispanic females in banks was the definitive cause of the financial crisis...oh, well surely we've shown that the percentage of minorities at large is the same as the percentage of minorities in the financial industry and thus quotas are needed...no? Oh, its just another piece of moronic, non-evidence based social engineering unrelated to the actual purpose of the bill (which is itself questionable at best)? Well that makes sense.
