There are times when I wonder at the laws. In a democracy, people elect their representatives. In any society, the laws are designed by the peoples' representatives to protect the peoples' interests. Therein lies a conflict of interest. The representatives may not necessarily know what the people truly want. As for the people, what they want may not necessarily be in their best interests.
Who watches the watchman, then? What is there to keep the representatives from deliberately creating laws in their own interests rather than that of the people? Yet it is clear that, however well-written a law can be, it's enforcement is really up to the will of the people. Even in the places where there are laws against discrimination, minority races still face difficulties finding jobs.
If there is a bias against the minorities, there is precious little that legislators can do.
