After reading your interesting post I must admit I am one of those who has a prejudice/bias. I have been in my particular field for over ten years now and have felt a tremendous pressure from a certain group of people that obviously share some of the same skills/interests as I. I hate to sound condesending but this group continually has a severe effect on my pay scale and the ability to find a job. Although I try to 'read' every person individually and not hold a bias, I find that I do in fact hold 'grudges' against certain people regardless of talent. I do believe though that the right person should recieve the 'right' job. I am still angry that non-citizens can have the opportunity for the same job I am usually more qualified for. I take a huge amount of pride in the job I do and I have yet to meet my equal. With all things considered I feel equality in the workplace should be just that...equal regardless of race. If a particular occupation has 100 qualified white applicants and 10 of any other nationalities then the ratio should be MOST QUALIFIED/1 no matter what. Let whitey win only if he is most qualified. Cheap labor = cheap results!
