> ...he was making sure that Makinde wouldn't be too politically assertive about race issues. Well, if he were truely politically assertive, he would answer smoothly and to the interviewers full satisfaction, take the job, wear a microphone and follow up on the interview questions on tape and then sue the everliving shit out of the company. It's strategically stupid in addition to being an asshole move. The only people who really suffer are the ones that you actually want; reasonable, smart developers with options will wisely avoid this company like the plague. The risk that your manager will continue to act this way or that they will have a deep-seeded bias against black people is high. The chance that they are merely good-intentioned but, inarticulate and socially awkward are low. Even in that best case scenario, those are terrible qualities to have in a manager.
