What definition of "force" are you using?

Banks have been sued for failing to make "enough" loans in "predominantly minority" areas. Regulators have told banks "we're not going to approve your application to do {thing 1} unless your percentage of minority loans goes up."

To prevent this from degenerating into partisan political BS, let me say that if anyone is interested in the macro environment and the economy, check out the Economist.

This paper was established to advance free market and free trade principles, and it isn't beholden to any US party (it's a British publication).

FWIW, their articles about Russia's invasion of Georgia were incredibly slanted. This makes me seriously doubt their "unbiased" status.
