Applicants! Technological racial discrimination is in existance. Do you believe than when appling for a job on the internet and the confidential information posting about race or ethnic background and sex is damperning the chances of the possibility that someone from the hiring company is going to see your application. Private corporations and public companies are racial profiling applicants through the internet programs.
Intentional technology usage is the name of the game in this new era of information technology. Companies can now make decisions about qualified applicants according to the ethnic background or sex of individuals. It's so easy to racial profile for example, if a company want to hire white males job seekers all they need to do is set the search engine for white males with limited abilities.
If the company only seeking to hire Asian males or females they can set their criteria to search for Asian males or females. They can also set their programs to automatically kick out all applicants who are Black or African American, on another note those who click on other will get a bounce back message requesting a person to idintify themselves. At the bottom of the confidential inquires the equal opportunity message is posted.
If you do not believe this check it out for yourself. Simply apply online for a job, you know your qualified for and click Asian, change your name for the same job same qualificantions and click Mexican or Balack or African American. You will need to use the same email address. You will receive two types of messages. One stating your qualifications are currently being reviewed and the other will state your are not qualified or your skills do not match. Check out your responses.
If you contact the company about technological racial profiling they will deny your accusations. They may tell you your imagining this, they may tell you they are not allowed to racial profile becasue it's wrong. Maybe they will state something like the govenment is requesting companies to racial profile applicants, or maybe the government wants to know how many whites, blacks, and asians or other nationalities are applying for jobs. (applying) Well the status quo applicants of whites, blacks and other nationalities actually works for the companies benifit not the government. Now it's understandable that the company reports employees nationalities to the government however, it's unbelieveable that they report applicants nationalities.
Do you think the government gets a report from these companies of applicants applying for jobs online and sort through these applicantions to find out how many Blacks, Whites, Asians and other nationalities want to work for companies. Applicants! you are being racially profiled.
