Let's try this again: Candidates and their qualifications...

[Starman]

We white males have run the show for 200 or 400, or however many years.

If this just happens to be the 20-year span when things start to turn around, it's just tough shirt for us. It is what it is. Deal with reality.

wasn't a study just released on all of this. The topic was even recently posted on the APSE website. And since this study, I think there have only been only three noteworthy changes in the findings.

 

[pallister]

I know being a white male has made me a millionaire.

 

[Riddick]

you and me both

 

[DyePack]

This worst hire I ever made as an SE was a white male. He was a bitter, whiney, self-entitled bully. A drunk and a drug user, too. He had good clips and a lot of experience, though. I wish, at that time, I had a quota placed on me.

Sounds like you just did a shirtty job of checking credentials and judging personality.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

I happen to have been born with a tusk coming out of the middle of my forehead and I still cain't catch a break.

 

[Shaggy]

The only thing that gets me is that religious minorities don't count. So if you're Jewish, we don't care. But if you're black, let's talk.

Aren't they both minorities?

As far as age discrimination, it's out there. MEs like to hire cheap young people. That's how I got my break. Sorry old farts.

 

[Crimson Tide]

Yeah, I was laid off once while a minority kept a job. Yeah, I was bitter, mostly because I lost my income. Is it fair? No, but what is? But instead of crying to mama, I found another job.

Things like this happen, but it's tough shirt. The best you can do is move on and find something else.

 

[Tom Petty]

I was, IMHO, passed over for a job that was given to a minority female for less than professional reasons. I feel -- and so do others -- I was better for the job than she. I hesitantly took the assistant job, and it was a nightmare from the beginning; I should've politely declined, though I don't think that would've helped very much, either.

She got her chance, wrapped the rope firmly around her neck and jumped off the copy desk. Now, neither of us are there, and leaving was the second best decision I've ever made.

Although I still hang around the shop, I am extremely bitter at those who made the decision and am currently doing everything I possibly can to thumb my nose in their faces. The final blow in my personal battle will be landed next month, and I'll be sure to let you guys know how it works out.

Sorry for the rant, but that's been on my chest for over a year.

Out.

aren't you still in college?

I'm BACK in college.

I just kind of think that it's sad that in a profession where the words we write are everything, the color of our skin sometimes means just as much. When we write, it's all one color.
