Racial Discrimination? May 21, 2009 “The Jill and John Wilsons of the world are more likely to get responses to job applications than the Mei and Wan Lius.” “The findings suggest that a distinct foreign-sounding name may be a significant disadvantage in the job market,” he said. “I did not expect to see this kind of discrimination. It’s against the law.” Read this article: http://www.theprovince.com/Business/English+names+discriminated+against+hunt+study/1614848/story.html Do you think this discrimination actually exists?

 

not onlydoes it exist  in the ways of colour or race, but in all sorts of areas, such as age, sex, and even apperance. Not being hired for a job because your name seems “foreign” is so wrong!  It seems thses days discrimination has risen to whole new levels. Some sort of discrimination happens every day, if it a store woker following a teenager because they think there going to steal something, or a boss thinking because your a  girl your stupid and cant do things. So yes discrimination does exist.
