White people need not apply. Change your name to sound black or Hispanic before submitting a resume. Learn Ebonics. Learn Spanish. Get a tan. If all else fails, try blackface.

Why would anyone want to work for an organization like this?

I say I am African American. It freaks the hell out of HR and the hiring managers. They look at me and cannot figure out why I put African American when I am clearly white.

During an interview about 5 years ago, I was sitting with the manager, and she kept looking at me in a funny way. She finally built up the courage to ask me why I put African American on my application. I told her I was from South Africa, therefore I am African American.

Needless to say, I didn’t get the job.
