Not as unusual as some may think.

People like to pretend discrimination is gone and everything is even-handed but how can it be, when we see that workers are discriminated against for not even being a family member of the owners of a particular company?

If it happens on that level, why would it not on a racial one?

So the minorities?
Forget about it.

There's an old saying:
"Last hired, first fired".

oh geez people it's not a racial thing...more than half of the employees were minorities of some kind, where it be black, asian or whatever kout and the family members were. So in this place, the WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE MINORITY

Kout and her families are Persians which are ethnically whites. I thought they were Arabic due to their dark skins but they are not. {most Persians I have known has lighter skin colour}. And before some person on this forum declares that they are not white, the name Iran means land of the Aryans, and the Aryans are the people that descended into [and mixed with] Europe and Northern India peninsula. So yes, even though they are not European whites, without these Aryans, Europe would still be neanderthal and Northern Indian still Dravidian and veddah.

You are confusing Indo-Iranian with Indo-European which Aryan can mean both. Indo-Iranians did not populate Europe as you seem to think.
.

where do you think Hitler and his goons get the idea of Aryan Nations and such? The Persians are Aryans (as I mentioned the name means land of the Aryans] and these Aryans did migrate into Northern India and Europe and mixed with the populations.

In terms of Persians not being a dominated white in USA yes you are correct but they are still white people regardless of how you splice it. Persians are an ethnic group BUT "racially" [we are all one race so I use the term sub-species, Persians are white people. Ethnically since they are not European descended they are ethnic whites just like any other groups [Turkey, trans Caucasus area like the Boston Bombers from Dagestan]. hardly any Dagestans in the USA but the Boston Bombers are still ethnically.

Sorry, Floyd, but you are wrong. It doesn't matter what Hitler thought, in America, Persians are not considered white by the majority of the nation. That's just how it is.

Anyway, there was clearly and obviously family favoritism going on in this company. There is no way anyone, black or white, was ever going to get ahead in this nepotistic mess of a company. None of them had a college degree. That's why they were willing to work for such a low salary. No other company with decent wages would hire them for professional jobs.

If I wasn't part of that family I would be looking for another job and taking it ASAP. That Zoe guy was better off somewhere else.

Sorry but you are wrong. Ask any anthropologists and an university or go to any university's website such as Harvard, Oxford, Yale and check it yourself. Or any website.

In this country, until the 1960s, Eastern and southern European were not even considered "full" white due to their "admixture" with "Africans, Arabs and Mongols". That is ridiculous.

Think about it: in this country, the Skinheads, Neo- Nazis, white Aryan Nations, KKK and other hate groups that call themselves Aryans, where do you think they are getting that term from? Also, Hitler's did not invent the concept of Aryans, Europeans intellectuals hundreds of years prior used the same terms [they were bigots as well].

It is just as false as the "one drop rule" that determine that if any whites in this country had one ancestor of Nubian, they were African-Americans. I guess only in the USA people change the rules according to what they want to.

This has got to be one of the stupidest conversations I've ever seen here.

Who cares what race or ethnic group the Persians belong to? It shouldn't matter and by pigeonholing people into categories, you characters are just as racist as Hitler, only you aren't genocidal maniacs.

If you look at people as one race, you'll get rid of the stupid and ignorant attitudes that cause racism. Same thing goes for categorizing people. What matters is what kind of person they are, how are they as a human, not what color thay are or shape of facial features.

It's really pretty simple, people who are darker come from ages of antescedents who lived in those areas where there is a hot climate and a lot of sun. People who are lighter descended from the opposite, meaning those who lived in colder, less sunny climates. The color of skin is all about protecting the body from the sun, that's it, even though it's thousands of years of evolution.

Same with facial features, coming from adaptations to the environment. People with thin nostrils lived in colder climates to help warm the air when breathing. Wide nostrils, warm climates.

When all of you characters who love to categorize people are gone, then maybe we'll get rid of racism and bigotry.

Indo-European is just a language, nothing more. Linguists stated that the two area's language are common in the 1800s. That is all. But in terms of actual people, the Persians were the ones that migrated into Northern India and Europe. native Indians are NOT Aryans, only Persians are. The mixed ancestors of these Aryans and the indigenous Europeans and Indians have Aryans genetics via way of the Persians. This is fact not matter what Americas states. Persians are white people, regardless of the animosity the US government has with them at this point.
