Ignore everyone else. They don't know what you've been through. They don't know what it's like to have teachers give you C's on tests simply because you're black. They don't know what it's like to have the popular boy never ask you out simply because you're black. They've never been in your shoes.
YOU know what it's like to be you. YOU know what it's like to have to go out your door every day knowing the world is FULL of racists. The racists are around every street corner just trying to keep you down.
And all these people saying Disney isn't racist? Have they ever watched Peter Pan? Have they seen Song of the South? How many white princesses are there (many)? How many black (1), how many asian (0 because Mulan was not a princess). The people who make the decisions at Disney didn't make these choices on accident.
If you KNOW you were discriminated against you should sue. Seriously. Sue them. What will end up happening is Disney will settle with you out of court. Disney doesn't want your story to end up in the newspaper.
If more victims of racism stood up and had the courage to sue companies there'd be a lot less racism in this country. Obama's election doesn't prove the country is no longer racist. Racism still exists and we must all fight against it.
If you do nothing then the next time another young black woman applies to this position she will get denied by the same interviewer. You have the chance to stop this circle of racism. You must speak up.
First of all, the original poster already said she had been denied from 3 CP's, which are all phone interviews. There's no way to tell race over a phone, so there's clearly something she's doing wrong in her interviews, and it isn't her race.
Nobody gets a lower grade on a test because of their race. They get low grades because they don't know the material as well as they should. Nobody has any obligation to ask anyone out just because of their race... Not sure what you're getting at there. You've clearly spent too much time around Disney because you're living in some fantasy conspiracy world.
Also, if you're going to say Disney is a racist company today and then go on to reference Peter Pan and SotS, which were both released over SIXTY years ago, your argument is ridiculous. Wake the hell up, half of Animal Kingdom is themed to look like Africa, and is staffed by Africans. Look at the people working in all the parks.. A significant percentage are black. Half of Epcot is dedicated to worldwide culture. No lawyer in a million years would accept a case to convince a jury that the Disney company is racist.
