I never thought about it until now, you're right. It's 2012 why exactly does race matter on job applications [pic] that's a legit question BTW if someone could explain to me

Employers have certain quotas to maintain in EOE, its part of the hiring process, but most times its optional, and I dont answer as its not relevant to my application.

i could be wrong but i think the reason those are on there is for statistic purposes. so they can say "this amount of whites/blacks/etc are applying and getting jobs". i could be wrong but i thought thats what the CURRENT use of it was

Check "white" just in case though [pic]

Hell yeah I hate those things, its like no matter how qualified you are by clicking that "Black/AA" you just have the feeling that your chances of getting the job just lessened a bit. BTW before someone screams "Well you should be confident in yourself, and your race", it isn't that. Its the lack of confidence we have in other people. NO it doesn't mean I think every employer is racist but I'm not naive enough to act like their aren't some out there.

Boxden in a nutshell

Black person does something wrong: "[pic] Black people will never get it right. "

Black person has something wrong done to them: "[pic] All black people do is complain and blame things on others. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!!"

Black person does something positive: *tumbleweeds*

Somebody says something like "White people" (I wonder who the first race attacked will be...): Well you monkeys can't afford to/too busy in jail/food stamps/baby daddies/welfare/robbing/etc because you know only black people say "white people".

I'm not saying that some of the black people here aren't ignorant as hell, there is ignorance from every race on Boxden [pic] (there are also great users from every race) but this is what you see more often on Boxden. Plus before someone tries to point out the "Oh well here is what the black people said..." and good portion of the people you THINK are black on BX ARE NOT. Those using "nicca" and slang in EVER sentence are wannabes. I honestly don't think there are TOO many people pretending to be white or other races on here. You know what they always say everybody wants to be black but nobody wants to BE black. [pic]

EDIT: *Looks at length of post* I hope my[..] didn't just start something....[pic]

i feel you man. [pic] i hate when they ask that !!. i never lie on it though. [pic] i feel like if you lie it's a lose-lose situation because if you put white and you're actually black and they call you back for interview and you come in they gon be like [pic]

it's funny cuz there was a topic on boxden before about an article that discussed discrimination in employement just because of people's names. (People with foreign-sounding names, ''black'' or ''ghetto'' names, etc. on their resume were less likely to get called back for interview) and that to me is worse than racial discrimination. [pic]

Wrong [pic]

Names. It's very easy to discriminate by names. Some names sound very "ethnic" or belonging to a particular group

So when somebody has a staff with no minorities, it's easier to see that they are just discriminating from the get go when they are having plenty minorities apply. Not only that, but these are usually confidential and don't show up on the interviewer's sheet, they only get cataloged as a statistic.

It's not some conspiracy by the white man to keep you down [pic]

In all actuality that is actually a good point. That section absolutely should be removed from applications.

But I'm a white male so I'm not complaining [pic]

It is illegal for them to require certain things. People on here don't understand that they can't see what you answer. That's why you will never see these questions on a paper application like one at McDonald's or a retail store. Go pick one up and check
