Is there racial discrimination in hiring?

This is a repeat to the same question now resolved. I need to reply to a person citing Reverse Racial Discrimination slighting Whites. I suggest you merely state you are Black on the application or in your resume. Let me know how that helps you out. If you get called in to the interview, perhaps a bit of black or brown shoe polish will help you get that favoritism you are talking about. But I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut you don't get the interview. I'm White. But I sure wouldn't care to be Black and applying for jobs. Its tough enough not being 6 feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Is there racial discrimination in hiring?
Sadly discrimination will always be there because were human. It would be futile to say that we dont prefer someone over the other. Take note, I said that while its futile to say we dont prefer it, our actions can be controlled.


Im also not in favor of quotas: that they need to hire 5 females at least, or 5 handicapped people.


Let the job go to the best qualified applicant.


I suggest people in HR be blindfolded when they interview applicants. Much of what and how we judge others is based on what we see (its something like 87% right? that we use sight to judge people, 87% of our judgement is based on it?) so it would equalize things if they were just like Lady Justice.
Reply:Yes, there is racial discrimination in hiring. There are all kinds of laws about it, but there are so many ways to get around those laws. Most employers want, among other things, someone they can identify with and feel comfortable with. God bless the ones who give people of other ethnic groups and races a chance in the workplace. And, yes, I am white.

Reply:You bet its called reverse discrimination and its excepted by all the so called broad minded liberal hypocrits that cry all the time how whitey is the root of all evil. Talk about double standards. I think a person should be hired by his or her job skills and knowledge not on how many females, minorities, or handi capped people they have on staff. Its called QUOTAS and its for real. I know some lilly livered liberal is going to cry the blues about this reply but its because they know I speak the truth.
Reply:u gonna try that
Reply:You could take the Racial part out and just leave the discrimination. I am sure throughout history racial discrimination has been the most prevalent. However the level of descrimination out in the workplace is simply overwhelming. Your too short, tall, fat, skinny, smart, stupid, immature, mature, young, old, white, black, brown, the list could go on and on. No one is safe.
