Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I read a bit about CRT, what I read is all over the map, but SOME of it closely resembles what I endured at work.

I was involved for ten years with recruiting, there was certainly major discrimination there on the basis of race and sex.  One year, there were two blacks in the country with the degree required, and our goal was to hire both of them, sight unseen.  One year we were told no white males would be invited for on site visits, not one.  Our hiring targets were typically 30-90 each year. 

We had diversity training each year because each VP had to put on his perf eval he provided diversity training.  He'd tell his admin to find something out there and have at it.  If they did not meet their diversity targets in hiring, they would lose stock options.

My closest friend at work was from South Africa, had red hair and freckles, his parents were Brits.  We discovered at one of these meetings about targets that the Company counted him as African American.  He was furious and wanted it changed but I managed to talk him out of that.  It was good for his career.

It's a number game, and those numbers impacted senior management's stock options at the end of the year.  It wasn't hidden at all.  I recall circa 1995 we were told Asians no longer counted for "diversity" and there was a collective groan from the audience.  At least Asian women still counted.

I would put a teacher in the ICU if I found out that they were teaching my kids to be ashamed of their own heritage.
