As Walter Williams said we practice discrimination every day by life's choices.

So you have a strange name that matches you to a specific group you may be discriminated against, more so if you show up with face tatoos.

Bill O’Reilly once said that, if you have neck tattoos, you never have to wonder why you didn’t get the job.

I had a black coworker whose mother named her Brittany so she wouldn’t be discriminated against because of her name on her resume. She got the job, all right, but she was terrible. Sat on her phone all day texting and face-timing, and when she did work, made tons of mistakes. Maybe focusing on names isn’t what everybody should be doing...

Once, at a company ‘holiday party’ (you can't say Christmas), I had the HR manager explain to me that there is a very simple and practical reason why this may be the case. It could have been the alcohol talking but what he said in essence was this: “It is very easy to fire a white person if the hire doesn't work out. But it is very complicated to fire a black person for the same reason.”

Always negative with this bunch. 50% qin 2003... 24% in 2023. That’s a huge improvement.

I stop reading when “black” is capitalized.

From my time in mgt the name wasn't what killed a potential interview.

It was their resume.

Grammar. Punctuation. Misspelled words.

And my favorite....I have good work ethics.

And these were all supposed to be college grads.

Keep that black outrage hot! Can’t have them going thru life without their victim hood status in tip top condition! Given the infestation of colleges with Leftist hacks who even knows if the study is real or just more fake news for the narrative ?

Ya think? Add the preferred pronoun to Jarmarius Smiths resume and it’s not only tossed, but likely burned.

Good point. On a related note, it’s also why companies are often reluctant to hire workers over 40. Fire a younger worker, and out he goes. Fire an older worker, and you might get slapped with an age discrimination lawsuit.

The question was something like: “your boss tells you that the job requires 110%. We asked so many people what percentage they would give?”

The #1 answer was 90%.

But Steve Harvey had two contestants who answered 50% and 75%.

Want to guess their race and the result if their boss was watching?

It isn’t the name, it’s the perception that goes with it.
