Hiring decisions based on well-motivated efforts to assist minorities or increase diversity will likely constitute "reverse discrimination," and will lead to the same types of lawsuits and liabilities as are brought against employers who are accused of ill-motivated discrimination. With arcane exceptions beyond the scope of this article, even government-mandated "affirmative action" programs do not permit, let alone mandate, hiring employees on the basis of minority status.
