Needed Are Not Minorities in Top Positions

Needed are not minorities in top positions but top minorities in positions

To let the composition of top positions be in ratio a reflection of the composition of society nowadays positive discrimination is applied, which means that groups which in ratio are less represented in top positions get priority in receiving those positions. However every selection on other grounds than the required qualifications will undermine the quality of the execution of tasks and is thus advised against. This of course not only goes for discrimination, positive or negative, of minorities but also for discrimination, positive or negative, of majorities. The citation expresses that in a non-discriminating society which selects on ground of qualifications minorities with top qualities will automatically find their way to the top.
