During some of my research I have found some cases where people of color actually can have an advantage over a white man. Although this is rare, race in workforce can be a two way street. For example if two people apply to a job, one is african american and the other is white, and they are both equally qualified. The person of color may get the job because they need more diversity in the company. This an unlikely scenerio but it does happen. The thought of any racism in the workforce is just sickening to me. Whether it is towards blacks, whites, hispanics, or whatever it should not even have to be considered. People should not have to hire someone just because they are or are not colored, it should be based on talent and experience. People can not be hired or promoted just because the rich white owner decided he wants white men to work for him. We are all human beings and should be treated as such. I fear that this issue will never be totally eliminated but every little bit helps and together we can make a difference.
