RE: it states clearly that the company does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex or race. What gives?
____________________________________
What a company says and what the hiring manager does (and it is VERY HARD to discern his inner motives) are two different things.
For instance, it is against the law to discriminate in your hiring and firing based on a person’s AGE. Yet, it is a known fact ( and open secret ) that those above the age of 55 are the one’s who are :
1) MOST OFTEN THE FIRST TO BE LAID OFF
2) NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR HIRING.
I know I am going to get the occasional post from some FReepers saying he is being hired at an above 55 age and so, but his does nothing to refute the fact that this is happening most often.
In France for instance, there have been numerous cases where a minority (often, North African) college graduate CHANGED his name on a resume and actually got the job interview compared to when he used his real African name.
Same principle applies to what a company writes in its legal forms.
Did the person get the job or just the interview? And what does it say about that person who lied about his/her name? We have Barack Hussein Obama in the WH.
The reality is that being a minority is actually a plus in employment, college admissions, etc. Tokenism is rampant as we move from a merit based society to on based on race, ethnicity, and gender. Affirmative action and minority business set asides are institutionalized in laws, policies, and regulations. We have "hate crimes." DOJ does not pursue cases involving discrimination against non-Hispanic whites--a new category that was developed in the 1970s by the USG. The MSM withholds facts and data to maintain a phony narrative that there is widespread discrimination in the US.
And voting ID laws are being attacked as being racist. The DOJ has been complicit in such attacks in the way they enforce the Voting Rights Act, an anachronism that unfairly punishes Southern states.
