That assumption was suggested by the OP, not me. Thanks for suggesting I'm racist, but I'm basically immune to such thought stopping non-arguments at this point.

If disagreeing with making hiring decisions on the basis of skin colour is racist, then I suppose I'm racist.

OP never said he was hired due to the color of his skin though. Not once. Is it possible that's the case? Sure. But for all we know, he was hired on merit.

Again with the thought-starting cliches that parent already explained they disregard.

What are you trying to suggest with this? Are you saying that OP only has their job because of their skin color?
