Out of further curiosity, would it really be so bad if that were legal? I wouldn't think a black person, or for that matter anyone who isn't a white supremacist, would want to work for that employer even if the law forced the employer to hire without discrimination.

Would agree for liquid employment markets. Some, maybe even most, don't have the depth to support corrective actions.
I don't think the liquidity of the job market matters, because again, the only thing a law can feasibly do is prohibit the white supremacist employer from including those ideals in the job listing.
How about if it were just one hiring manager for a small branch of a large corporation?
I'd imagine they would get a not so friendly knock on their office door from THEIR boss for not following company policy.
Is a law necessary for that case either? That's just simple poor job performance from the hiring manager.
