You could argue that the poster is mitigating risk - because he perceives that there are opportunities (rightly or wrongly) in hiring certain minorities / sexes and therefore he believes that he's acting in his company's best interests by proactively screening them out
- wccrawford 16y agoThat's the same thing as racism. Every racist ever has told himself that he's 'mitigating risk for the company' by not hiring minorities.
- petercooper 16y agoSo are insurance companies who charge more to males "sexist" or to younger drivers "ageist"? Undoubtedly, there are some racist idiots hiding behind the policy of mitigating risk, but I can't believe some don't have reasonably logical, if tasteless, motivations.
