Black man rejected from job for being dark-skinned
Quote:
IN ENGLISH:
A good friend of mine applied at an electronics company in Arnhem (NL) Instead of forwarding his review to his superior, the manager pressed the reply button so my friend got an email containing the following message (meant for the owner)
Hi Mike,
Checked it, nothing here,
First of all he is dark skinned (negro) and on his resume it shows little to no computer experience....
Kind regards,

Disgusting
My country is a racist ass mess sometimes.
People need to stop saying racism exists no longer, because that's a lie. As much as I'd like to live in that fantasy sometimes. Some people just don't have the ability to respect others for their race, sexuality and beliefs, I think it's sickening and weak and even if big steps have been taken the past decades there's still a long way to go.
awful! I can't believe there are stillpeople who think like that. especially in Holland, it's such a multi-cultural society here, I've grown up with people from other ethnicities all my life.
It's 2013 an this **** is still happening? Just plain pathetic.
So what if it's 2013? The mentality of people hasn't changed that much over the years. Technological advances aren't correlated to mentality changes. The only thing preventing people from acting like savages are strict laws. Take those away and we will start acting like 500 years ago.
You would think that in 2013 skin colour would be the most irrelevant thing when applying for a job.
