    If company discovers that one of its long-serving and productive employees was hired in an illegitimate way, is the only correct response to fire that person?

      I have many disadvantages. I'm not saying that being white is perfect, or that you individually have problems. Whites in general are in a better position when it comes to job opportunities, education and even how the police approaches you from the get go.

      Did they do one for the advantages other races have in other areas? Or were whites singled out because it's the "cool" thing to do now?
      There's no reason to target minorities, or non-priviledged groups. Its the same reason there's a focus on misogony rather than misandry, as the former is a much bigger problem.

        Yes.

          The cake example, I thought that was well known on tweb. Look in some of the other threads. The law in this case might just be unjust, though as a Christian if I found myself in the same position, I'm not sure what exactly I should do. I'd discuss it with my spiritual advisor to be sure. Christians should follow the laws of the land, however there are also situations where the laws are unjust or unreasonable. This might be one such case.

          I think he's done the right thing, written an open and honest article about his situation. If the government wishes to deport him they will - they haven't.

              I wish I lived in the same timezone as most people on tweb, but its 11:50pm here. I'm going to bed. Goodnight, may God bless you and see you later.

                Because as soon as people allow moral complexity into their lives their positions evaporate :-/

                      So says the man who'd fire a productive employee on a vague basis?

                      Your ethic is black and white in a way that the acceptance of moral complexity, Grey, cannot be allowed it's hue.

                      You're an adult, I'm not your brother, and see no need to coddle someone with an underdeveloped understanding of ethics.

                        More to the point, misogynists are far more likely to be able to enforce their prejudices than are misandrists. The power structures in our institutional systems make it far easier to facilitate. The same tends to apply to whiteness in Western society.

                          Not true. I just refuse to allow black to claim it is grey.

                            So, the minorities get away scot free? Just because they are the minorities?

                              Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
