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.

平等就業機會委員會(EEOC)副主席Leslie Silverman說到,該機構的目標就是消除工作中的歧視。她提到,多年來,美國已取得了實質性的進展。
“在EEOC,我們相信在僱傭問題中仍然有很多種族歧視發生。而且,我們也相信,成見和無意識的偏見會助長這個問題。這就是為什麼在過去的一年裡,我們決定採取一種新辦法以應對種族歧視,我們稱之為ERACE,它代表消除就業中的'種族主義和色彩主義” 。
美國公民自由聯盟負責人Jamil Dakwar卻不以為然。他說代表團拿出現有的法律、最高法院的案例以及其他政策以證實他們的行動是正當的。但,這並未真正解決委員會所關注的問題
由250為美國人權組織的人組成的聯盟指責美國的永續性和系統性的種族歧視。委員會提到的很多問題都基於這個聯盟提交的長達600頁的報告。
兩週內,委員會將發表自己的最終觀察報告和結論。
