A senior Disney exec was recently caught on hidden camera saying:
> Certainly, there have been times where, you know, there’s no way we’re hiring a white man for this…. There are times when it’s spoken.
> Reporter: How would they say it?
> There’s no way we’re hiring a white man for this role. They’d be very careful how they’d message that to agents.
But this was captured by a controversial source, James O'Keefe's company, whom some consider an old-school journalist and others consider a prima facie con-man.
Whether or not this particular admission is 1) true and 2) from a real Disney exec, would it surprise anybody if this sentiment were common and barely concealed in large orgs?
You can only vilify a demographic group for so many years in a row before university students get into positions of power in big orgs and make sure that the vilified demographic gets shafted whenever possible, in the interest of "fairness".
