So, I've done a couple of new hire interview sessions. 6 recent university either undergraduate or post graduates each time.

First thing I notice, no white people in the interview roster. Now, remember, these people are being hired with a major consulting company.

Very few if any have any outside interests other than traveling or "hiking". Mostly just walking trails. Everyone is one kind of Asian or the other, half are immigrants, half born here or grew up here, with the exception of an African immigrant. North American sports are essentially non existent except for pick up basketball. One guy was into martial arts, and another badminton. They might have tried something once, here and there. Only two women in the group of the 12 interviewees.

Two guys, one from India who came as a student selected for post graduate work, and another brown guy born here, were brainiacs. These guys were really sharp.

First I thought, hmmm, I guess this is just the way it worked out, but now I know it's deliberate. I find it hard to believe that more well rounded white graduates weren't available compared to some of the people I interviewed.

Where are they going to go start out? If this company is doing it, is it true across the board? All the competition are shilling how "diverse they are" as well. I'm just wondering about what's going on?

This is just kind of telling. No wonder white girls and guys are claiming to be some kind of, "special", that's the only way they are getting interviewed or jobs, if this is the case.

Maybe I'm mistaken. I'm just thinking out loud.

White guy here. I used to study genetics but that fell apart due to COVID. Currently self learning IT for some desperate hope at a better job and making my own videogames. Any advice for me to bypass racist HR practices? I'll be trying to enter the field without a university degree though :/

Make your own video games as a hobby.

Self teach yourself unreal engine.

Get a job in trades. Get practical work.

I want to work in IT though and I'm learning Godot because it's free, open source and fit my theme for the game.

Unity is better for learning languages as c# is the best.

Unreal is the best game engine. Fortnite funded amazing new tech free for all hobby game makers.

Godot is but a shadow imho

Take contract work by looking up recruiters advertising it on indeed, linked in, to start and build up a network of reliable contacts. Eventually your contacts will start bringing you work. Linked in is great for that.
