Hiring a person because they are black is racist. It’s the same as not hiring a person because they are black. Or hiring a person because they are white. Literally, that is what racism is.

It is okay to say you are considering a black person because they offer a different perspective. Same with white, or whatever. But to say you are hiring a certain race only is absolutely racism. And it matters.

It matters if we hire a black woman and say she was hired because she was a black person.

Or you can hire a black person, and say I hired this person because they are qualified, and the fact that they are black increases minority representation in the government. It also increases female representation in the government.

It is a huge fucking difference.

And people would loose their fucking kind if we started firing black people and hiring white people. Because they are black and because they are white.
