    This may seem ok on paper, but what if I'm a minority business owner running a lean operation and now my crew of three can't land that Coke contract that would've given my business a life line to make it big because my biz is not big enough to be diverse?

    1.I doubt Coke hires many 4 person law firms.

    2.If the owner is a minorty that's 25%,doubt they would exclude them over 5% when they are giving business to a minority owned business.

    3.I think the odds of a minority owned business not having any minority employees are quite low.

    It's rare but there's plenty examples of wallstreet throwing a bone to small promising outlets. Usually artist-type work (music, video, adverts, etc..)

    That's kind of my point, isn't a minority-only business not diversified by default? I guess I'm not sure what entails diverse now a days, woman employee, gay employee, one of every color?

    Being minority-owned is sometimes, in and of itself, considered 'a diversification.' Can't say if that's the case here. In a majority White society, a minority-owned business may still be considered to be 'increasing diversity' even if all the employees are minorities.

    It likely depends on the size of the business.

    you would likely qualify as a minority owned business in the first place.
