Discrimination basically means you're most likely to be friends/look more favorably on people who are similar to you in age, gender, race, or religion. Even if someone from outside those groups manages to force themselves into your presence like you describe, you're going to look less favorably on them just because they forced their way into your presence, and even if one person does pass on the introduction, others won't. Meaning that statistically, if you're not from the same group as the person giving the personal introduction, you're less likely to be interviewed for the job.
- pedalpete 16y agoThanks for the clear response, though I disagree on a few points. 1)your definition of discrimination I think is twisted to fit this case. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&defl=en&q=define:discrimination&sa=X&ei=hYyCTYv9O4P0tgPxm6nlAQ&ved=0CCMQkAE http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&defl=en&... . 2)as jeremymims points alludes, the ability to network is a key part of the job requirements, therefore, the ability for one to show that the challenges they faced in reaching through their network or the creativity in getting an introduction could be favorable in getting hired.
