If I was a racist who wanted to spread minority unemployment and or racial segregation…

I would set up a system of enforced equal pay for equal work laws.

After all, the premise of such a system is that the unequal pay is due to immoral discrimination. If such discrimination exists, then the problem for me, if I were a racist, is that the minorities are still able to mix with the alleged “master race” by bidding down their labor. Thus, immoral discriminators start socializing with their alleged “inferiors” despite themselves.

But if we can enforce equal pay for equal work, we can eliminate this fraternization once and for all. Racial segregation will increase without those who discriminate being permitted to be contaminated through contact.

By the way, how much wage discrimination do you think exists in professions among people of different races who have a ten-year job history? It would be enlightening to find out.

Here’s a question about history: What policy did white labor unions in South Africa endorse to protect their jobs from competition from other races, once they saw that racist laws were ending?
