> That practice, where the person hiring always defaults to the white person, even in a mixed group of people with equal skill, is what's problematic, and what needs to be tackled.

Yes, I agree this needs to be tackled (an understatement I know). We need to stamp out the racism that non-white people routinely face. As far as hiring goes, I feel a lot of progress has been made on this front, but I don't have any idea if that feeling is correct.

> Yet people have already begun imagining the most extreme fantasy scenario possible... bad thing is that when you start imagining that, some people actually start doing it because they think they have to. Repeat a lie enough, and people will start thinking it's the truth.

I'm not certain exactly what you are referring to here. I was going to comment on it but then realised maybe I have completely misunderstood. What fantasy scenario and lie are you referring to here? And what is it that people start actually doing?

By fantasy scenario I refer to those people who comment one thing and one thing only: the idea that the government wants to force bad hires, as some kind of attack against white people.

While in reality, all that's being asked is to recognize that there's something systemic going on here.

But enough people comment this, some people pick it up and actually start doing it...
