I had a lead person who was nice enough (though self-promoting) in groups, but was unqualified for the work they were doing, and genuinely a bigot when not in a group or where they could be overheard. (HR required two witnesses.) They had the pieces of paper, though, and I didn't...but I think they were afraid I'd try for their job. (Didn't want it; I loved the one I was hired for.)

@PJ_Evans @inthehands Over 80% of #HR are white women so hiring will always be biased and the fear that someone wants their job is no different than saying the mexican immigrants want to rape and steal. The paranoia comes from #narcissism where they think they'll be treated the way they treat others 😂 no one wants their job. #hire

At that company non-whites were well represented at all level, so that wasn't a problem. It was that the one person was able to game their bigotry so they couldn't be reported and fired. (It was visible in the group: fewer Latinos and no blacks.)

@PJ_Evans @inthehands That happened in my governement job where I thought I was lucky to work in the most diverse company but the minority were white men and women who had outsized power. As studies show, the fewer the whites, the bigger the discrimination and the more damage they unleash.

Mine had Asians, men and women, in high places, as well as Latinos. And Blacks... I think it was run better when the money guys had less power, though.

@PJ_Evans @inthehands Always, inequality always leads to greed and broken society.
