Tbf, the business in question does appear to be quite racist here.

Guy sounds like someone who’s experienced institutional racism, something you’ll never understand in this lifetime.

You should see this video Redway, the racism is off the chart.

It’s a real, proven thing that companies avoid giving interviews to people with non-white sounding names, hopefully they get sued for a lot of money as punishment for their clear racism

It's the opposite issue to the DEI/positive discrimination companies.

Will any company just hire on merit?

Using your source, the name Jackson is 53% likely to be black. You're not changing the results to suit you are you?

On this basis, the people with the name JACKSON have a higher likelyhood of being Black and a lower likelyhood of being Hispanic origin, White.

This happens all the time and even though LT wants proof its not so easy to come by. Using LT's source the name Jackson suggest a black person 53% of the time so LT has confirmed the theory.

Some high profile jobs or even (in the media such as the BBC) low level jobs all but say "straight white men need not apply", neither situation is okay.

[Alf]

Everytime I didn't make it to the interview stage for a job was definitely because I is White.

Why does institutional racism, no matter the context or title of job, hurt so much? Do you people actually hear yourselves?

It's never actually okay, be it the BBC excluding white people, or a hotel excluding a black person.

The point I was questioning is ... it's a hotel. Why apply multiple times, including under a fake name?

You have this kind of privilege that loves perpetual debate, even when it’s not appropriate. I don’t even know what to say to you to be honest.

How'd you mean? I was agreeing that all forms of racism are wrong.

Sue, or make money on the college talk/podcast circuit by parading himself as a fake political martyr of some sort.

How is he a political martyr. Are you just chatting crap to chat crap?

[GiRTh]

LT used Jackson as a first name and that why the stats were wrong. Very sloppy.

If I were to go thru more of LT's posts would I find further 'inaccuracies'.
