New Orleans' first black DA in his early days of office fires 53 white workers and hires only black workers to replace them.

Well...discrimination is discrimation, positive or otherwise. As such it would be useful to look at the outcome desired. Now, he wanted to make his workplace more diverse and reflective of the city's racial makeup. UNFORTUNATELY (or fortunately), the law forbids mass firings to achieve that end.

*Rolls eyes* why didn't he simply hire more blacks. More importantly, what about the other races?!!
