The system

[Great-Kazoo]

i don't get preferential hiring due to my, gender, ethnic / race and identifying as heterosexual. .

DAMN YOU GENITALIA, DAMN YOU TO HELL !















true story

applied for a state job years ago. Hiring process closed and interviews done. Was told i was on the short list, but......................................... Since they did not have a larger field of (insert) other check boxes. They had to relist the job, because federal guidelines etc, etc, etc. Even if they were not qualified, which those who applied were not. They needed to "hire" at least 1 other check box to maintain funding.

Seems the system would benefit the current complainants. Where do they get it is racist.

I personally experienced losing out on a very good job due to quota hiring.

And this is what's hard for me to understand. As long as we have check boxes or pie charts showing what amount of what race there is in a group, it'll be impossible to get rid of racism. We literally REQUIRE racism on a daily basis as part of affirmative action.

But I was told this week that "ignoring color" is actually racist. Here this entire time I was under the impression that considering someone's color when making decisions was what was racist. Now not considering it is...

I'm so confused. But that's because I'm white and that makes me a racist bad person...wait, isn't labeling someone bad simply because of their skin color, racist? Nevermind...
