Instead of writing off-topic rants just like the guy you are replying to why don't you discuss the actual topic of choosing employees based on race/sex grounds as opposed to other methods which is what the guys you are complaining about have stuck to with their personal experiences. Just because a poster used a historical term is no excuse for these rants as the fact that it is not PC to do so these days is not a (posting) crime, just a modern social norm which older people just may not care for as I can remember a time when it was more insulting to use the term 'black'.

p.s. a history lesson for you to show how these things change from time to time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro

United States

Negro superseded colored as the most polite word for African Americans at a time when black was considered more offensive. This word was accepted as normal, including by people classified as Negroes, until the later Civil Rights movement in the late 1960s. One well-known example is the identification by Martin Luther King, Jr. of his own race as "Negro" in his famous speech of 1963, I Have a Dream.

The word Negro fell out of favor by the early 1970s in the United States after the Civil Rights movement. However, many older African Americans initially found the term black more offensive than Negro.
