I agree. And it's common sense that you can't force a corporate entity as to who its business leaders. The signing of that law makes no sense.

If boards are composed of people chosen based on their colour and ethnicity, that's not just odd, it's racist. Affirmative action should extend only so far.

It's not "common sense".

It's the basis of Western (sub-)civilisation: Enlightenment Values.

It's most definitely not "common sense" because it took us (the human civilisation) several millenia to arrive to these values.

Fortunately, they're spreading.

Don't be surprised if this just gets moved to stock exchanges where because the cult of "it's a private business, go start your own stock exchange if you don't like it" will give this policy a home where it can be imposed nationwide. NYSE and NASDAQ have already voiced this possibility.

It is crazy that they choose to fight discrimination by enabling another layer of discrimination and not being self-ware to do so
