If a person of color (I am myself non-white) is not performing, what does it take to fire them without the entire world playing the race card on you?
For them to be one of 99.9% of the world who can't mobilize a following to create a complaint about this?
Are we creating a society that makes it impossible to fire a person of color
We so far from such a situation like that that your complaint is absurd. A few places with a history of discrimination may have trouble firing the few people of color they might hire. That's about it. In the real world, incompetent people get fired and often competent people as well. A few people may make a career of playing the race card but that's a limited number of people.
Both racism and opportunists "playing the race card" can be real at the same time.
