Nowhere does it say that it is illegal to hire a white man.
Dodd Frank is just a toothless admonition to the financial industry that there should be more racial and gender diversity in the agencies. In large part, this was introduced after a few companies loaded with white guys managed to break the world economy through testosterone driven, reckless bets on the futures of hundreds of millions of people around the world. In the same way that the white men in Iceland literally bankrupted their country by being oblivious to anything other than their own big swinging dicks when it came to financial speculation. In the case of Iceland, they just threw all the white guys out of power and replaced them with a group of women who are re-building the entire state and economy from scratch.
That is far more drastic than telling agencies and the contract service providers that something needs to change in the management of financial regulation and management in the US.
The intent is that if there are two equally qualified candidates who have applied to fill a position, the agencies overseeing the financial industries and the organizations benefiting from association with them will hire women and minorities in order to provide a much needed perspective from significant portions of the population who currently are gravely under-represented...it is not illegal to hire white males. You see, BV, it may come as a shock to you, but for decades now, the opposite has happened. Regualtory agencies and financial companies run by white males have tended to only hire white males for most positions unless they want someone to type a letter or clean a toilet.
There is no court mandated penalty for hiring white males. A company doing business with the agencies will not be thrown in jail for hiring a white male. There is no prison sentence in Dodd Frank for agencies hiring white males or the companies that they do business with hiring white males. A company looking for a contract with the agencies may be evaluated for diversity of its workforce in being selected to do business with federal agencies, but if any large financial company in the US today is still 90% white males...then there really is a serious underlying issue, isn't there?
You do agree, don't you, that the make-up of the federal agencies should reflect the population distribution of sexes and should reflect the racial distribution of the country. Don't you?
You would agree that it currently does not, wouldn't you?
I'm so sorry that all of this hurts the feelings of all the guys in white sheets....but face it. You have to learn to share.
