And there we have a dilemma because some of the existing laws dictate that an employer should use a person's ethnic origin as a deciding factor. If the firm has less than its "quota" of employees from a certain minority and one person from that minority applies for the job yet is not as qualified or suitable as other applicants the employer is under pressure to take on that person to fulfil his or her quota.
