Dabitch - I completely agree with what you are saying. That's why we are encouraging candidates to include information on their resume that would highlight their differences rather than the same old cookie-cutter skills. The fact is, the world will never change as fast as we want it to, and quoatas and stereotypes still exist. It's unfortunate but true. So, if candidates feel they have a unique or unusual perspective to offer, they should embrace and promote these skills rather than try to "fit in" with the rest. I do understand what you are saying, too, about putting people in the "ethnic" box, but the world is still to small to just see people as people. These multicultural candidates now have opportunities in abundance that they did not 10 years ago. This may be viewed as good or bad, but these positions do exist, and someone's going to take advantage of them...it might as well be the folks who a reading this right now.
