Googles careers page advertises that they're both in equal opportunity employer and an affirmative action employer:

> Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.

That's so strange to me, how do you define equal opportunity when you directly affect that opportunity based on third party factors out of someones control.
I believe oxymoron is what its called.

[a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction]
