“Let a fortune 500 corporation say this to a latiqua or a shanikwa.”
Hopefully no one at a Fortune 500 company would be dumb enough to say it. There are always valid reasons to choose against someone, other than the actual reason.
In John Lott’s book “Unintended Consequences” there was a black FBI agent with the first name Gon-NOR-ea.
Move the accent from “NOR” to the “E” and what do you have?
I read that book 30 years ago and I still remember that agent’s name...LOL!
