Company I know has been actively searching for YEARS for somebody who has a PhD in biostatistics. The candidate has to be a black, Native American, or Hispanic, and preferably female. Trouble is, none of those groups turns out very many biostatistics PhDs. They’d cut their collective hand off before they’d hire a white or Asian guy.

Thanks for your comment. The policy of the company you described is racist BS.

Speaking as a white person who was clearly and specifically told that I could not get a promotion because I am the wrong color and they were going to preferentially hire and promote “disadvantaged” minorities, yeah, I’m aware it’s racist b.s. Fortunately, as of yesterday I and 500 of my closest friends wee laid off so it’s no longer an issue.
