I initially read this blog post about unpaid internships with great
interest and much support. But then I came to the gratuitous racist
statements about 'white guys', e.g.,
'Times have changed, we don't just need well off white guys anymore,
and that is what that system gave us.'
My questions is what does a person's race have to do with any of this?
Nothing. There are lots of underprivileged people who would never
be able to take an unpaid internship and who happened to have been
born white and male.
It is wrong and unjust to disparage an entire race and gender of
people regardless of whether is a white male or black female or Native
American...
Every human being has the right to be treated with respect and
dignity, regardless of their race and gender. Is that asking too much?
