Serious question. What level of skin colour is required for it to:
1 Make the person hypersensitive?
2 Believe everything another person says is racist?
I recently placed an ad for a position at my place. So far I've had 4 enquiries. The first that came in I could not open the file and so I asked for a PDF or Word Doc to be sent. The person responded at 3 am and sent the same doc that I couldn't open. I left it there.
The 3 other applicants all had decent CVs, but the best one that attracted me was a Black-America with lots of experience and he presented himself impeccably in his CV. However, like many applicants we've had in the past, they fail to read all details in our ad regarding location, and specifically pointed out not to apply if logistics would be an issue.
Assuming all had read the description, I email the Black-American (His words) to pursue the matter further, but as it turned out he was miles away. I asked about his location and questioned how he could get to us on time.
At this point, I hadn't offered the job as I had 2 other applicants to contact. But I did mention to the applicant above that I had concerns regarding him reaching us in a timely fashion and to let me think of a solution.
I received this:
In other words: "We only hire caucasian teachers despite an African-American having the credentials needed for the positions available"...At least you weren't overt with the subliminal discrimination and actually replied to my inquiry. Happy Holidays XXXXXX
If I was racist as he was softly implying, why the eeff would I have even bothered to reply.

Regardless, our longest serving staff member is Indian/Canadian. He's not black enough to be racist against against, right!
Not sure the sensitive buttercup is aware of the defamation law here too.
