People of Color Vignette #1
(no one race or ethnic group specified)

A large business has been making an attempt to diversify its staff.  Over a one-year period it went from employing three to twelve persons of color. During a Human Resources meeting, the HR director mentions he’s been thinking of asking the company managers and the HR staff, all of whom are white, to attend a racial diversity training.  The assistant HR director says, “Is this really necessary?  I don’t pay any attention to someone’s race.  As far as I’m concerned there’s only one race and it’s the human race.  Aren’t we all on the same page here?”

Question for the reader:  In what ways do you agree and/or
disagree with the assistant HR director's comment?
