I would assume there is no iron clad proof of this. On the
other hand, as I tell people I know who experienced the
same due to gender or nationality, you don't want to
remain at that company anyway so paradoxically you should
be happy it happened so you can move on to a company that
is more aligned with your values and interests.
That's selfish. The existance of such companies is harmful
to the entire humanity, not only to persons with differing
values.
No, it's rational. Companies are private property and therefore the
owner may do with them what they wish. The market will sort out
companies who reject competent employees in time, and companies who
accept competent employees regardless of color will thrive.
The entity that makes this a problem is the government.
But isn't government put together by companies?
No it's politicians. What differentiates government and companies is
that government govern countries and are back with violence. What
defines a company is that it acts on markets and have customers who
can voluntarily choose to do business or not with the company.
Together, companies make up a huge amount of money and other kinds of
power. They finance the campaigns and effectively attract politicians
who will (un)naturally be docile to their desires. Hasn't times changed
from monarchies to a new form of government that is simply an oligarchy?
Perhaps you can choose your leader, but that's irrelevant.
Real discussions don't even come up. We have a population that's
totally vulnerable to propaganda, which is what companies are
specialized in.
Yet you are here pointing this out which disproves what you're saying. If
you and I can realize this, so can others. Not affirming this feels a bit elitist to me.
But... you are certainly right in what you are saying, but to a big extent
this is due to government interfering in the markets, awarding companies enormous contracts and protecting them. So you have a downward spiral.
Remove the government and the rest will follow.
Now, one last thing. I admit that I am arguing for a "utopian state" and I admit that we are today _not_ living in this utopian state. The question
of _how_ to get from today, to a world without governments, and with only individuals and companies is a different, but very interesting question.
