But when it all comes down to whether itâs easier for your kids to be treated fairly or to appease the parents of the other 1,000 students who donât see your children as being an equal, well, itâs only a business, right?
And while itâs a business to the people who run the schools, it is not a business to the students who attend them. And those are the people who are being hurt the most by racist hiring practices because they are being educated in ignorance. That they can learn from only white people and that anyone of a different ethnicity is inferior intellectuallyâŚeven if that person is of the same ethnicity as they are.
Knowing that youâre a racist doesnât make you less of a racist. Knowing that youâre ignorant doesnât make you less ignorant. If you think that hiring a non-white to teach in your school is a financial liability, then I;m sorry, but you are ignorant.
How can parents look beyond skin color if they are never given the opportunity to? How can parents be educated that skin color has nothing to do with quality when school owners are simply telling them through their hiring practice that thatâs not true.
And what message are we sending to children by censoring the color of the people who are allowed to teach them?
I pose this question to the condoners who excuse racism as being financially sound practice:
What is your advice to every non-white person, every person over the age of 35, every person who weighs more than 50 kilos, and every person who is not a heterosexual?
âGo home before make the school lose students because they hired you over the cute girl who didnât know shit about teaching?â
âGo back to where youâre tolerated?â
âGo back to where youâre not a liability for a schoolâs income?â
âGo back to where you can âdo well in spite of what youâve been givenâ?â
Sorry, am I being too PC for you? I accidentally brought my skin color with me from the ramp. Canât be helped. In spite of what you might think as being good business practice and a way to put food on the table. I have a table too.
