WarTim 3,456 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 "Where is fantasy bread? In the heart or in the head"......Wiliy Wonka Racism is in the HEART. Gotta change hearts and minds. Sadly, since the days of MLK, there just isn't much of that taking place....JMHO I actually have been recently discussing this with some peers. Civilization, society, cultures.... they tend to either be stagnant or moving forward, usually. America at this time seems to be in reverse. During the 2000's racism/homophobic acts were certainly around, but were trending downward. But in the past few years they seem to be trending upwards again. Due in part to it's resurgence in the media. The "is it racist?" tagline always drawing a crowd of the latest generation who never got to see the truly dark side of racism in America since they were only born in the 90's. I would also add to your "hearts and mind" bit by saying racism is a disability that only affects the ignorant. I have yet to see someone of any racial background spend significant quality time with people of a different ethnicity and keep their prejudiced mindset. Not saying it's not possible, just that experience usually cures stupidity. Hah! If only. :-\/> Ask PT how old he is. Come on. You can do better than that.

DKW 86 7,411 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's stupid. You hire someone based on their qualifications.. Hiring people just to meet an ethnic quota, regardless if they are qualified for the job or not, is racism in itself. Well assuming that you are hiring in proportion to what you are seeing in applications.The problem here is besting the GOB Network. Sometimes it isnt racism, it is just that folks want to hire folks they know or relatives. Oftentimes Nepotism looks like racism from the outside. I wish that i could say that hiring was based on sane "best available hiring." But even inside the govt, nepotism still reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
