I know that it's hard to get a job because I can't get one! Just like anyone else struggling to... Being white has not helped me in any way to get one, that's a fact. I can't speak for anyone else. My belief about everyone being an individual ain't come from any history lesson. I made that determination on my own because I find it to be truth in my eyes. If everyone TRULY believed that, none of this would even be in question. I don't even know much about any race's history, including my own. I know about slavery and I damn sure don't agree with it. So how can you or anyone put me in the same distinction as the people that made this country up just because my skin is the same color as theirs? It's like being mad at me for something that I didn't do... Doesn't make sense to me. So all of this ideaology and Eurocentricsim or whatever they called is all irrelevant to me. They mean nothing. I've never even heard of that stuff til you brought it up.
I know they care about diversity because they have classes there that deal with it. They make you look at all the people involved in your life, you doctor, dentist, priest, etc... It's called the Global Beads class... And you get a different color bead for whatever race that person is... Then at the end they make you look at your beads and how diverse everything is in your life. And they ask you stuff like if you'd be willing to change to different people because of their race... THEY want you to become more diverse..
Does that have anything to do with why I wasn't hired for that job? I don't know, won't ever know, nor do I care... It is what it is... They hired a different person, I move on..
I have no intention to discuss this any further because it's something that we clearly aren't going to agree on. I have the way I feel and you have the way you feel, ain't nothin gonna change that...
