Red Neck Opinion
Simon,
I agree with you... but keep in mind that white boys will always fill the vast majority of job openings. The bottom line is that sometimes people get jobs because they are black, yellow, pink or because they are female. They may get the phone call to interview a lot sooner because of their minority status - but they still have to pass the interview and the sim ride.
I have many high time white boy friends waiting for the call. They may have 10,000 hours but their phone doesn't ring. They are one of many... A person of color or a female just might get the job with 2,000 hours. They are one of few... It is frustrating, but in the long run I know that the 10,000 hour guy will get his chance. He just has to wait a bit longer and keep the faith.
Life is not always fair and sometimes the best person for the job doesn't get the job.
