week 10 - The Racial Foundation Of Organizationl Communication

The text books talks about race as a separate, singular concept that is relevant only under singular circumstances. It is common to have people of different colors working together in the organization, it is important to manage and balance people from different cultures. Well today i filled out an application form for an internship position and there was a separate part that had to be filled which was optional but the criteria to be filled was ethnicity,male/female. I do not believe that these should be a criteria that they should bother even putting on an application form as this in no way affects the credibility and ability of an individual. I am not sure if this would be considered a racial bias but i sure think this should not be a part of an application form
