Reply #86: "They probably would be viewed as racist." That's an interesting observation.

My guess is that most at DU would not view it as such. While an "Americans only" hiring policy might inadvertently result in the hiring of a larger proportion of whites, since these whites would be American citizens, I doubt that DU would accuse the company of being racist.

Now if this shifting of jobs from minorities to whites occurred within the US, it would indeed be rightly attacked as a racist hiring policy. Perhaps this goes to show that nationality trumps race, at least in this regard.
