Were there any specific examples of what they meant? The article didn't mention any.

Well, i have almost 25 years there and i don't believe that is true. As a matter of fact, i would say if you are a person of color you have an advantage there. Just my experience.

Same....my experience is if you're doing the work assigned to you and doing it without rework, everybody gets along well. and honestly I have seen zero overt racism towards any minority at Boeing.

Boeing HR is pretty risk adverse. They won’t fire anybody without a shit ton of documentation.
