"Being mined for trauma. It's difficult to get opportunities when you don't have the connections and sometimes it feels like they're just asking you to write because your experiences are en vogue. It can be dehumanizing." @nadya_agrawal https://t.co/t8rxa5xPPz

@dr8ay @dhof @JackHemsley4 The logic is *not* to hire them *solely* because they’re POC, but if given the choice between 2 equally qualified applicants, one white and one POC, the white person shouldn’t inherently be given preference.

[Journal NYC @journal_nyc]

@dr8ay @dhof @JackHemsley4 We’re in agreement, however being black and being qualified aren’t mutually exclusive in this logic. The point is to not discriminate against POC applicants *simply because* they’re POC.

@FailedEvill @suzannaguayo @JackHemsley4 @dhof To the point where they are overlooked or undervalued constantly, precisely for the same reason you’re saying shouldn’t be a factor. Color-blindness as an answer to racism is seriously misguided and ignores the root of the issue.
