Because correlation is causation.

They told you the quiet part out loud. Some of us managers figured that out on our own but just kept it to ourselves and hoped HR didn’t cop to it when reviewing our hiring offers.

Maybe they’re not equipped to do the job and use R.A.C.I.S.T. if they are let go.
The school system is at fault for lowering the bar.

Dumbing down by lowering the bar is not doing anyone favors.

Race baiting scumbag agitators doing “surveys” now in Chicago and California. This sh*t isn’t new. If you had an Irish name back in the 1800s, you didn’t get a “call back” either, DEAL WITH IT MORONS. Just because you’re black it doesn’t mean you turkeys are the first and only people to ever have been discriminated against. Grow up crybabies! You claim you’re Americans. ACT LIKE IT!

Stop naming your kids ‘Shithead’ and expecting everyone to call them “shith-eed”. Might help. Just saying.

She took her name very seriously..because most white Brittany’s (stereotypically) are bubbleheads.

I wonder if they’ve also studied the reaction to names associated with high-achieving African immigrant groups such as Nigerians and Kenyans.

A new study conducted by me shows that employers are extremely likely to favor black applicants, especially female, instead of White ones.

Research was conducted by observing reality, and taking note of the fact that huge major corporations are NOT EVEN talking to White applicants. The researcher used his experience and by reading numerous news items which clearly show the bias.

So the article by Cheyanne Daniels is a pile of pungent smelling horse feathers.

That is exactly the problem. Years ago, in "Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?," Thomas Sowell made the same point. I also heard an interview in which he explained how as a young professor, he went through several dismal black secretaries.

In frustration, Sowell then asked his friend and mentor Milton Friedman how he had a black secretary who was a respected and popular marvel of cheerfulness and efficiency. Friedman explained that it was simple: he interviewed many applicants for the position, checked references, and then hired the best one without regard to race.

Using that method, Sowell never had another bad secretary, hiring black and white ones from time to time based solely on merit. Our idiotic Supreme Court makes that extraordinarily difficult these days.

I don’t know how much credence I’d give any study involving race which was conducted by garden variety “academics”. For them to then sniffle over ‘in this day and age’ like they’re taken aback just puts a cherry on that parfait. I do wonder if it was just a name on a piece of paper or did anyone interview anyone?

The HILL is on a roll. Yesterday the HILL published this story written by two SF Hotel Public Relations guys.

“””With US cities struggling, San Francisco has actually become a shining model of recovery
The Hill ^ | 04/11/2024 | JON E. BORTZ AND ALEX BASTIAN

A man with a needle in his arm. Streets littered with trash. Constant retail theft. Cars with broken windows from smash-and-grab auto burglaries.

These are some of the images that have been used recently to describe San Francisco. But even if that narrative may have been accurate a year ago, it is now contrary to what we generally see in San Francisco today.

In the San Francisco of spring 2024, you instead find commuters grabbing coffees and heading in to their offices; tourists admiring the streets comprised of unique Edwardian and Victorian architecture; friends enjoying the fresh fish at outdoor restaurants; and families playing in the beautiful parks. There is less crime and greater presence of police and city ambassadors. There are more drug arrests.””””

When mama names the applicant whatever the noodles are in her alphabet soup, chances are the applicant inherited mama’s IQ.

I had several engineering coworkers of color from the continent of Africa. Phillip, Douglass, George, Nissen, William, and Alfonso. In any projects we were involved in and the instant a "DeLaundre" spoke, the meetings concluded.

If you want to see horrible racial bigotry, go to Kenya, Ghana, Ivory Coast, etc... The ethnic groups are awful. Dates back to tribal conflicts thousands of years.

Think Winnie Mandella with an endless supply of tires and kerosene. The fact we celebrate any Mandella is criminal.
