I feel like you're trying to turn this into a race or gender issue when that isn't necessarily relevant. Like your boss said, maybe he really does just prefer to hire Americans and the race/gender is irrelevant to him.
- nate_meurer 8y agoYeah, no. One of the guys I referred had a green card, been here for years, started a family here. He has an Indian name, but he's as American as I am. Didn't matter. Boss wouldn't consider him. Edit: What you said is a reasonable proposition. Nationalism and racism can be distinct from one another. But in this case, given the treatment of my green-card bearing friend and the tone of the brief discussions I had with the boss, it seemed clear to me that some amount of outright racism was at work.
- thucydidesofusa 8y agoIf someone is so nationalist that they make hiring decisions based on the needs of America, it's easy to imagine that they have a preference for citizens or better yet to the nationalist, natural born citizens.
