The reality of today’s workplace for most of the last 40 years I’ve been in business in corporate America and owning/ running several mid sized businesses just do not meet The standards of what most describe as racism.
Greedy ugly capitalism means I want to maximize profits. That means I hire purely based on merit. And good people are almost always in very high demand and hard to find.
When I was in the corporate world we were told to be very aggressive at the hiring shows we put booths at when it came to minorities. We were required to take any minority resume no matter how poorly they matched up with our requirements and pass along to our superior.
They would do out of box thinking to try and figure out if we could find something they could do. Minorities were not discriminated against, they had a huge leg up. Black females are the triple crown and always got an interview.
Ask anyone in corporate hiring of who owns a descent sized business and ask them if they care a rats behind about race, sex, orientation. They don’t and it’s against the law to do so.
