Mercenary, I see your point and I suppose it's a fair one. But....that suggests that the onus of responsibility is on the ethnic population to change who they are, rather than on society (and employers) to stop being racist.

I think it is unfair to ask any ethnic group to change who they are. Than is an impossible and unrealistic expectation IMHO. I would suggest that assimilation and opportunity for future generations is hindered by a desire to exclaim ethnicity through names that few can pronounce and open an individual to an unfair situation. I blame parents. You will never stop society from being racist, that is another pipe dream IMHO. This will never be a utopian society.
