It’s screwy out there. Reminds me a colleague who got an interview mainly because he was “African born”-—that’s what it said on his application and it was true—he was born in Morocco — but he was as white as the driven snow.
Another case was an applicant who had a very “latino” sounding name..we were advised strongly to hire her...even though she was born in Spain!
It’s no wonder some people call Obama, “The Magic Mulatto” - he can have the best of both worlds.
Mocha Obama!
