The scenario:
Where: USA
When: today 5/12/2014
I'm a black guy that owns a contracting Company. Its smaller, about 20 employees.
Lets call it Agent J's Home Improvements and Landscaping.
I dont hire any white people, I think they arent trust worthy simply because they are white so I deny everyone that applies. For me White = dishonest.
Am I a racist, is this racism?
For reference here the definition of racism:
Racism:
rac·ist noun or adjective
1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2: racial prejudice or discrimination
