Find me one ( just one) white person, who if they had a job interview and there lives depended on them getting that job and I had a pill, to turn there skin black for a day.

Would any white person take that pill ?


You've asked the question, but then just proclaimed the answer.

This is much more of a question of balancing risk/reward. You don't know if the skin change would help or not.

In reality, there are actually written procedures to hire non-whites over whites. There is no such thing the other way round, and would rely on the racism of the individual doing the hiring. In actuality, the changes of your skin colour helping your application are actually higher if you are non-white.

I mean, if these white people, REALLY believed that doors just opened for black people, then they would take that pill


What people believe, and what is actually the case, are not necessarily the same thing.

There is not a white person who would take pill to turn their skin black, if there life depended on getting the job.

Secondly white people don't care if the black person is upper or lower class. It matters not. White racism does not separate black people into groups.


Come on if the situation was I take the pill and become a black upper class lawyer and the only other person in the interview situation was me (prior to taking the pic obv.) The black upper class lawyer would get the job there's no denying that. Would I regret it afterwards depends on the personality of the dude I've turned into?

Class does count for a lot in that kind of situation.

Nope. They would not.Remember there has been study after study to show that whites with criminal records have more chance of callback than black people who are clean. Racism exists. Remember a white person of upper class would feel more of a bond to working class white person, than a black person from upper class.
Just popped in to see whether the usual people to engage in race discussions are here and they are, so I'm off. Too much drama for an Easter Sunday. :ciao:

No way I don't have any class background whatsoever I would be in the interview saying the black guy should get it and if he didn't the law would come down on the employer like a tonne of bricks. Fact. :bricks:

Truth of the matter. There is not one white person who would take that pill.


If I had a pill that would turn you white would you take it?

But you just said the fact that somebody wouldn't become black for a job proves racism so that just proves you are racist.

I never actually specified a duration I thought it was obvious I was asking that question reversed back to you.
Yes you can.

In that situation, if my life depended on getting a job and I could take a pill which would change my skin colour for a day to turn it white ?

Of course I would take the pill. Because I know that being white has many advantages.

But if you are asking me would be white in general ? Then no way on earth.

I separate black people into groups.......

The same groups as other colours too

Poor, rich, chav, idiot, smart, funny, ugly and so on.

Yours views are really disturbing

If this 'Prince_Paul_246' guy was white and saying these things about black people, he'd probably be banned from TSR faster than you could say "racist hypocrite."
