US Defends Record Against Racial Discrimination
Vice Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Leslie Silverman, said the goal of her agency was to eliminate discrimination in the workplace. She said the U.S. has made substantial progress over the years.
"At the EEOC, we do believe that racial discrimination still occurs far too often in the employment context. And, we also believe that stereotypes and unconscious bias contribute to this problem. That is why this past year, we decided to take a new approach to combating race discrimination, which we call ERACE and it stands for eradicating racism and colorism from employment."
Advocacy Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jamil Dakwar, was not impressed. He said the delegation presented existing laws, Supreme Court cases and other policies to justify their actions, but did not really address the questions and concerns of the Committee.
A coalition of 250 U.S.-based human rights organizations accuses the United States of persistent and systematic racial discrimination. The Committee based many of its questions on a 600-page report the coalition presented to it.
The Committee will present its final observations and conclusions in two weeks.

平等就业机会委员会(EEOC)副主席Leslie Silverman说到,该机构的目标就是消除工作中的歧视。她提到,多年来,美国已取得了实质性的进展。
“在EEOC,我们相信在雇佣问题中仍然有很多种族歧视发生。而且,我们也相信,成见和无意识的偏见会助长这个问题。这就是为什么在过去的一年里,我们决定采取一种新办法以应对种族歧视,我们称之为ERACE,它代表消除就业中的'种族主义和色彩主义” 。
美国公民自由联盟负责人Jamil Dakwar却不以为然。他说代表团拿出现有的法律、最高法院的案例以及其他政策以证实他们的行动是正当的。但,这并未真正解决委员会所关注的问题
由250为美国人权组织的人组成的联盟指责美国的持久性和系统性的种族歧视。委员会提到的很多问题都基于这个联盟提交的长达600页的报告。
两周内,委员会将发表自己的最终观察报告和结论。
