Sorry to correct you. I just started a new job and was informed, in the HR orientation, that only whites can be racist. Racism no longer means one race oppressing another. It means that the race of the majority (read whites) oppresses any minority (read Blacks or Latinos). This was a question that I answered and got wrong in the orientation. I thought racism was one race oppressing another, in other words race on race bigotry. IMHO, the powers that be have changed the meaning of racism. According to the HR dept. at my new hospital, only whites can commit racism.

Shame on them for it!

I can top you. When I first started working at Glaxo pharmaceuticals, a hustling black lawyer told us at orientation that the white boys were going to be passed over for promotions, training, and the mentorship program because of "existing racism."

He then went on to admit the corporate suits wanted Federal money, and expained how the "affirmative action chart" worked, which was the FedGov's way of saying basically the same thing.

The white boys in the audience grumbled, but put up with it, while the blacks nodded their heads and mumbled. I started looking for a new job the next day.

And this was while the wonderfully-conservative senior Bush was president.
