If I want to hire a salesperson in a black area is it OK to look for a black person thinking he would be a more effective salesperson working with black clients?
Would it be fair to look for black teachers for predominately black schools because the black kids might relate easier to a black teacher.
NO!
Would it be OK to hire a white financial manager over a black manager because most of your clients are white and they might prefer a white financial advisor????
It would depend on the image of the business and the specific job. If your business was "Brothers Ball Caps" then you could discriminate on race. I doubt a public school could discriminate for teachers.

If you do so, you need to cover yourself.
I can see the logic behind this.
Sure, if you like being sued
Yes, I do this almost every single day
I work in a majority-minority school and the district actively recruits Hispanic teachers. Never have figured out how this is legal.
If you hire a woman minority, there is a high likelihood that the person will file a ridiculous discrimination lawsuit that, even if completely meritless, will be extremely expensive both in terms of time and money to fight. Therefore, an employer should protect himself by always hireing white males. Never advertise job openings to the public; doing so will result in non-white male applicants suing the shit out of you when they don't get hired. Always hire white males within your network.
if you are hiring an escort, absolutely
I'm sure a black policeman would be better received in a black community. So shouldn't he be hired before a white policeman to work in areas predominately black?

Am I hiring to advance to goals of the company, or a specific individual?
