Satirical Job Interview on Diversity
Hello, Nazim. Your resume is very impressive.
Oh, thank you.
You're just the type of person we're looking for as our next TMH.
Oh, TMH?
Token minority hire.
Oh, uh, what's that?
As you know, we are a predominantly white firm,
but every year we like to hire a
small number of ethnic people to show that we're an equal opportunity employer.
As a TMH, you'll be expected to walk around the
building so our clients can see
you- ... as well as appear on our brochures with
other minority employees.
So you don't actually want me to be doing any real work?
God, no. That's what the white guys are for.
Oh.
You just relax and look ethnic.
Oh, one thing, though, and I don't wanna sound rude, but, um,
is there any way you
could become a shade browner?
A shade browner?
Yeah, I was thinking a spray tan before you
start.
Uh, not too much, though. We've already got our African.
Oh, and another thing. Is there any way you could get one of
those, um, da, da, da,
da, what are they? Tur- turbans. Turbans and some robes to wear around the
office.
You know, maybe get little red dots on your head.
What are...
They're cute, aren't they?
Yeah, look, I'm Muslim. You're, you're thinking of Hindus.
Aren't that the same thing?
Look, have you even read my CV?
No.
Yeah. All right. Well, thanks anyway. Have a nice day.
Uh, starting salary is 175,000 a year plus a company car.
It's an Audi A5.
Look, what color robes did you have in mind?
