aka "The Old Boys' Club".
I think your idea that you should be allowed not to hire African-Americans or women even if they're equally or better qualified is quite offensive.
Even worse is that your argument now seems to be that you wouldn't want them as friends, either.
And, worst of all, that you think that this community would share this attitude and could be convinced by it.
