Quote HistoryQuoted: My last name is sort of a known black name. Mostly from certain football celebs and other tv retards. Those people just so happened to get my name from my ancestors.  . But, none the less, last time I had to do the job hunt tango I was told not once. But twice that they thought I was an African American. And you could hear the disappointment in their voice while explaining to me that they were looking for a minority candidate. And asked the clearly white voice on the phone if I was indeed not a minority. Then said goodbye. I ended both of those conversations with me not wanting to work for a racist company. And thanked them for not wasting my time. This racist discrimination should be illegal. But our government incentivizes it. There was a guy on here years ago who said he has a "Black" name and he was being heavily courted for one of the service academies, and finally some lightbulb must have gone on with the guy calling him and he yelled in an exasperated voice, "Look, are you Black, or what???" Pretty sure he didn't get in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not sure why you would have to lie right now, Helen Keller could get a pilot job in this economy. If one cant get a job today they may need to ask themselves why... I have a job. Best job I've ever had. It's 100% remote, off shift, and requires so little work I've decided to get another one. They won't overlap. I'm going to look until I find another 100% remote job that requires me to do very little and do both at the same time. |

OP, my advice is, if you are a man and get an interview, wear a dress. If the company is woke then you will almost certainly get the job even if you aren't qualified. You will never have to wear it again because you have established your credentials.
ETA I've been recommending to my kids that they pick "mixed race" because it is almost certain that they have at least as much of something non-White as fuaxcahontis had Indian in her. It's easy to make up a story about a grandparent from Greece or Argentina or something. |

Ancestry DNA confirmed I’m 1% West African. Using the Elizabeth Warren school of cultural appropriation, I think I might accept my African heritage and utilize affirmative action to open doors.
Never mind that I’m ginger AF. The liberals have written new rules about identity, so why not exploit them? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Now here's the down side the more militant Hispanics in the organization are likely to hunt you down and call you out on it. I say this as a guy with a hispanic surname and a whitebread 1st name. You will questioned about do you speak spanish? Where are you from? They get *real* butthurt when you fire back that the reason for that last name is that you have an unbroken ancestry line that can be traced back to the conquistadors. "My ancestors conquered and looted half a planet....from yours."

Quote HistoryQuoted: How about Native American.....worked for Pocahontas............................. Pretty much every single person I've ever known who was getting some kind of Indian welfare was either completely White or completely Black. When I went to law school we used to go to meetings of the different "ethnic" student clubs (there wasn't one for Whitey, of course), because they served food. Went to the Native American one. The student leader was a White guy. The faculty adviser was a White woman. Her husband was a White guy. They all would go on and on about their Indian heritage. I had some questions about that. They didn't like them. I have an old work buddy who's a Mormon White guy. If he was any Whiter, he would be transparent. White. As. Fuck. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in his family was a full blooded Indian, as many people who settled the West could say. He went all the way through a Master's for free. 100% free. |
