_x000D_
Gelato Cheese Company, a major processor of cheese sold throughout the United States, employs one hundred workers at its principal processing plant. The plant has a relatively young crew with 85% of the workforce between the ages of 25 and 35. The plant is in Heartland Corners, U.S.A., which has a population that is 50 percent white and 25 percent African American, with the balance being Hispanic American, Asian American and others. Gelato requires a high school diploma as a condition of employment for its cleaning crew. Right now, Gelato’s entire cleaning crew is white._x000D_

In Heartland Corners, 75% of the white population has completed high school, compared with 25% of those in minority groups. How is this information important in considering whether Gelato is in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?_x000D_
