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(yè)機(jī)會(huì)委員會(huì)（EEOC）副主席Leslie Silverman說(shuō)到，該機(jī)構(gòu)的目標(biāo)就是消除工作中的歧視。她提到，多年來(lái)，美國(guó)已取得了實(shí)質(zhì)性的進(jìn)展。
“在EEOC，我們相信在雇傭問(wèn)題中仍然有很多種族歧視發(fā)生。而且，我們也相信，成見(jiàn)和無(wú)意識(shí)的偏見(jiàn)會(huì)助長(zhǎng)這個(gè)問(wèn)題。這就是為什么在過(guò)去的一年里，我們決定采取一種新辦法以應(yīng)對(duì)種族歧視，我們稱(chēng)之為ERACE，它代表消除就業(yè)中的種族主義和色彩主義” 。
美國(guó)公民自由聯(lián)盟負(fù)責(zé)人Jamil Dakwar卻不以為然。他說(shuō)代表團(tuán)拿出現(xiàn)有的法律、最高法院的案例以及其他政策以證實(shí)他們的`行動(dòng)是正當(dāng)?shù)�。但，這并未真正解決委員會(huì)所關(guān)注的問(wèn)題
由250為美國(guó)人權(quán)組織的人組成的聯(lián)盟指責(zé)美國(guó)的持久性和系統(tǒng)性的種族歧視。委員會(huì)提到的很多問(wèn)題都基于這個(gè)聯(lián)盟提交的長(zhǎng)達(dá)600頁(yè)的報(bào)告。
兩周內(nèi)，委員會(huì)將發(fā)表自己的最終觀察報(bào)告和結(jié)論。
