When the U.S. Federal Government subjectively and openly ignores employment discrimination laws during the course of its own employment practices (as it does currently) and only pursues enforcement of racial and ethnic anti-discrimination laws depending on the race/ethnicity of those being subjected to discrimination (a practice reportedly to have been stated by the current U.S. Attorney General), one has to wonder how long the private sector employers will honor and adhere to anti-discrimination laws as well? I surmise much of the mainstream will follow the lead of the Federal government employer and ignore anti-discrimination employment laws and consequently favoritism and nepotism will become even more widespread in the workplace than the nearly epidemic levels to which these practices already currently exist.

Age Discrimination Not Considered as a Possible Subject of Concern By the U.S. Department of Labor?
July 6th, 2010
Of course, widespread age discrimination appears to have long been a likely hindrance to many gaining employment. Being ignorant to the reality of the apparently widespread and accepted practice of age discrimination as typically displayed by the employers of the United States would certainly be a mistake. As an example of the apparent acceptance of age discrimination, the U.S. Department of Labor's website doesn’t even list age discrimination as a topic under which one can contact that department.
See: http://www.dol.gov/dol/contact/contact-emailtopics.htm
I mean..., am I mistaken? Age discrimination is supposedly illegal, right? All this despite the recent and repeated disregard for anti-discrimination laws by the U.S. Court systems, legislators, and employers, it still is illegal, isn't it? Not that I personally would consider age to be a handicap, but maybe there aren't many of us around anymore that care to help those that are in need of such help. Because the anti-discrimination laws, in general, appear as nothing more than meaningless words on paper - all to the apparently disinterested eyes of our elected and government officials and court systems.
