Fairness For Everyone

I'm talking about the the more subtle form of racism where bosses subconsciously overlook a candidate's qualifications because the candidate has a foreign sounding name.
Critics would suggest that affirmative action causes a boss to consciously overlook a candidate because of their skin color or ethnicity.

What I am advocating for is we deal with the issue of subtle racism rather than deny that it exists at all.
I have no problem with other people getting a chance as long as I don't have to step aside in order for them to get it.
This is why I like the union. Seniority sees no ethnic bias. Seniority is the fairest possible system, as it prevents favoritism in any way shape or form.
