Addendum to previous post.....

I misspoke..... There were not only 3 minorities in my group before I started. I forgot that just about the entire testing team (4-5 people) are black too - and the two leads are black women.....

I am not sure if I have ever worked around so many black folks in my life!

hmmm. My previous company that I was with for 6 years would do this sort of thing. Go on a hiring spree and next thing we would
see was a sea of black women walking around. As a matter of fact, I was hired during one
of those sprees now that I think back on it writing this response.

But anyway. One of my friends told me one reason a company would do this is to qualify for gov't funding and contracts by meeting the minority quota. But don't quote me on this. I never took the time to research for myself and see if there was some truth in her
theory. But when times got tough, guess who was first on the chopping block. Nevertheless, it
was definitely good to see some color in the workplace. So enjoy the diversity while it lasts.
