Racial Profiling in the Workplace

Although it seems often overlooked, racial profiling in the workplace is a very is a big part of our everyday workforce. Think about it, have you ever paid attention to companies’ dress codes? How often do people get denied a job because of their appearance? For example, a friend of mine had showed me a photo from their employer and its obvious this company discriminates against “people” with dread locks as well as those who wear shells in their hair. Even though dreadlocks, beads and shells are a symbol of strength still somehow those who wear them are seen as degenerates and unprofessional. You can see the photo below supports this claim.
