So, you don't? /s

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME? YOU ENGLISH? gestures wildly

But why aren't potatos friends?

I used to work in HR. In my first week, the HR Manager walked around with me on the floor of our factory. We had a lot of Vietnamese employees. She wanted me to start learning people's names, but the first time we encountered a Viet person she whispered to me "hey, between you and me, I can't really tell them apart since they all look similar and have similar names, so if you can't remember them then it's no biggie". Like what??? Ma'am you are the HR manager.

Arthur Grand Wizard Technologies Inc.

I mean, it's right there in the name...

It’s also probably worth the Department of Labor’s time to investigate their previous hiring practices. When every single employee ends up being white, the DOL will likely be able to come down on them with even bigger fines. Because proving discrimination often requires a pattern, but an all-white payroll would be a nice shiny pattern for the DOL to grab onto and parade around in court.

This also may have been a targeting instruction accidentally posted in the ad.

After all, with contemporary targeting knowing everything about everyone it should be easy to only show that to, e.g. straight white cis male US citizens of 34.4 years old with 2.2 male children

Thank you! I really, really hate this trend of posting a screenshot of a headline or part of an article. Why not post a link to the actual article?

It’s strange that there’s no comment from the company.

Yeah, that's not so strange.

The job posting by Ashburn-based Arthur Grand Technologies Inc. was published in March 2023 and said that the company was only looking for “U.S. Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates],” according to a Justice Department news release.

I'm telling you, these job replies from HR have gotten pretty cryptic, but I send out what they tell me to send. It's not my job to understand, just to send the emails.

"Dear [Candidate],

We regret to inform you that [Company Name] is no longer hiring for the position of [job title]. Thank you for your interest in [Company Name].

Sincerely, [Your Name]"

But not real jail because, you know...

According to the article, the company is under departmental monitoring as well as the fine. They can't make this kind of move again in the short term.

It looks like the line that was included in the job posting was not meant to be published, but was an instruction for the recruiter:

“U.S. Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates],”

If the company hadn't been too cheap to hire local, US born, white, racist citizens to handle the job posting, they might have been able to continue being scummy without anyone being able to prove it.

There are multiple “consulting” agencies in the US that have gotten in trouble for not hiring anyone aside from south Asians. If this job was posted by someone in India, there is probably a non-zero chance they were hiring this “white” only person because they were trying to offset the fact that they only hire south Asians otherwise.

Oh! Now I understand why my English teacher was a total fascist when it came to those kinds of pronunciations! Pen-guin got us a fair few times. Neat. She was just extra racist.
