[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 684250, member: 9789"] Seems to me that this comment is just as racist as any other. I think that there is a belief that if you are making a comment about the Caucasian race and especially about males that it is OK to show a superior or prejudiced view against same. Well I am here to tell you it is not OK and it is just as offensive as any other racial statement made. Replace the word "white" with any other in that statement above and most of us would see racist hatred in it. But somehow the word white is less reactionary. Hoke pointed out that white males are no longer in the majority and have not been for some time. When I started back in 1971, this company was dominated by white males especially in management. You would rarely see a woman in any position except as a clerk or administrative assistant. I watched the company's growth with diversity over the years. During my working years, the most important thing to me was that my boss was fair, tolerant and somebody with the ability to train me and lead our group through good times and bad. I could CARE LESS about what color they were, what sex they were, what their religious views were or what their sexual orientation was. I think UPS has done a hell of a job with diversity. In the process, the company has been elevated to new levels. The only drawback is that it took too long to make it happen. But then, the whole country was struggling with this.... and in some cases, still is. [/QUOTE]
