It is abhorrent to hire one of two very similar people, but prefer the black to overcome the huge bias for white people? In an attempt to redress the 100s of years of imbalance?
But it is not abhorrent to treat black people like shit and disclude them from many roles for many years?
- allthenews 9y agoAbsolutely, but those slights do not justify harming other innocent people. Especially in a business context, where the rationale for hiring is supposed to be about productivity. And it isn't fair to presume that we benefited from some kind of historic opression based on the color of our skin either - some of us are immigrants, or first or second generation descendants, having faced persecution of our own, pre and post immigration.
