IBM so very, very sorry after jobs page casually asks hopefuls: Are you white, black... or yellow?

Re: sorry or not

You know what these preventable aviation tragedies all have in common? They are caused by shitty airlines with low margins, low pay and low standards. There's literally no need to bring race into it - it's a redundant variable. Trying to wedge it in there says bad things about you.

Re: sorry or not

No anon, what's really racist/sexist is pretending that we don't live in a world where racism and sexism already inform hiring decisions.

Implicit bias is a very well scientifically documented aspect of human nature. It capably and sufficiently explains differences we see in employment levels across gender/ethnicity/class boundaries in a way that no other mechanism does. To deny its existence or randomly posit some other explanation without evidence isn't just racist/sexist, it's anti-science.

Your comment starts with some fact-free generalisations about how Asian people feel about being called "yellow", implies that looking for racist/sexist hiring practices is worse than the practices themselves, and ends with some off-topic ranting about diversity, a topic you clearly do not understand. Yet according to you it's other people who are the "real racists". Sure.

Re: They just need to make the penalty so outsized

Good grief, you really do have a chip on your shoulder about those "foreign invader" types don't you? And yes, while what you said isn't technically racist, the sum total of your comments on this topic alone give us a solid indicator that you are indeed a shriveled little racist; no amount of bleating about how supposedly touchy everyone is these days will change that fact.

Good call. After all, he's posting well above the grade required for President of the United States of America, and we Brits surely are a discriminating lot.
