If Don Lemon thinks white people are so scary, how come he lives in a neighborhood that's like, 90% white?
If you want to know what people really care about, take a look at where they live, especially if they could live anywhere. Hillary and Bill Clinton are worth tens of millions of dollars and have free Secret Service protection for life. They could live safely in Harlem or East New York. Instead they bought a place in Chappaqua, which is less than 2 percent black.Barack and Michelle Obama are also rich and surrounded by bodyguards. Their kids went to Sidwell Friends, so school zoning is irrelevant to them. Yet when they left the White House they still moved to the whitest neighborhood in Washington. Fewer than 4 percent of their neighbors are black, in a town that was known for generations as Chocolate City.Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York is a tireless advocate for diversity, but not in his own neighborhood. Although he lives in Brooklyn, where one in three residents is African American, his own zip code is one of the whitest in New York. It’s less than 5 percent black.Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, meanwhile, doesn’t really live on an Indian reservation. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Harvard, as well as an enormous number of white people. Her zip code is less than 6 percent black.Even Representative Maxine Waters of Los Angeles, an open black nationalist, doesn’t choose to live around the people she represents. Waters doesn’t live within the bounds of her own district. She lives in a six-thousand-square-foot, $4.3 million spread in Hancock Park, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. How did Waters afford a house that expensive after forty years of working in government? I asked once. She didn’t answer, but did call me a racist.
why are there always so many posts about politics and american society on a website that's supposed to be for English teachers in Korea? Couldn't you just post this on a different website?

Couldn't you just post this on a different website?You know the forum I posted this on is called 'North America?' It's written in brackets under the post's title so you know not to click on it. If you don't like the eclectic nature of this site, I suggest you frequent another website that specifically deals with Korean English teachers' concerns. e.g. Reddit.

And just to anticipate the usual responses, I'm not 'angry' 'triggered', or butthurt' about these advertisements. Nor do I think they are statistically common Andyman. I don't think white people experience more racism compared to other races and I know there are much more serious problems in the world. I do think it's wrong though.
That's not all I post about and my posts are far more interesting than yours.

There are plenty of other employers who pass over names just because they sound like they could belong to a minority. I'm just saying, there is nothing perfect in the world, but what about having some perspective? If these are the kind of prejudices that whites face (and most people certainly do not face them on a daily basis) then I think we are just fine.

I was specifically referring to companies legally discriminating in job advertisements.
I said if that's all it is then basically who cares.
