I see plenty of people of colour working.
Where do you live?
I see plenty of people of colour who are successful.
Where do you live?
In fact...
Today a company is more likely to hire a person of colour because that company is scared to be called racist.
Got anymore excuses?
A trucking company started up in my city.
The news did a story on it.
A Muslim man star ...[text shortened]... e right.
Discrimination is alive and well.
Always has been, Always will be.
Can I complain now?

Could be based on passed performance history.
We base our future decisions on our past experience.
Maybe they don't perform as good in an average case basis.
Companies have to compete to survive.
Affirmative action in regards to pay is the end of a companies success.

@no1marauder saidSo if you have a law degree and F. Lee Bailey has a law degree you *should* make the same pay.

I detect a fly in your ointment.
@earl-of-trumps saidSure, it must be a coincidence that at every level of educational attainment, blacks in the US make less than whites.

Or are you suggesting that one "race" is somehow "superior" to the other(s)?
@e4e5f4d5 saidSo predominately white bosses think that blacks aren't as competent based on their perception of "history"?

making any grand, sweeping changes in the law.
I have never looked up the differences in scholastic grades by "race", if such
a thing is even allowed to be published.
PS: after a moments reflection, it seems obvious to me that grade tolerances
for blacks v. whites in college entrance are different - and different for a reason.
If the groups scored equally in SAT's there'd be no need to mitigate differences
@earl-of-trumps saidIn other words, we should just ignore the evidence of discrimination. We should assume, without any data, that blacks perform more poorly at every educational level even when they succeed in completing it.

And you wonder why POC overwhelmingly reject right wing policies and politicians.
Your head in the sand attitude is no less poisonous than the thinly veiled racist attitudes of the other poster.
