Last line is mine, not the article's.

Exclusive IBM has apologized after its recruitment webpages asked applicants whether their ethnicity was, among other options, the racial slurs Yellow and Mulatto.

In online application forms for positions within the US tech giant, in among other questions ranging from military veteran status, and eligibility to work in America, a bizarre drop-down menu asked whether jobseekers were Caucasian, Black, or Indigenous, as well as the aforementioned insults.

The Register was first alerted to the baffling error on Monday by an engineer who tried to apply for a technical role at IBM earlier this month, and was stunned by the slurs listed for a mandatory input field labeled: "Please state your ethnic group." [/quote]

 

I must confess that sometimes I conduct searches for ethnic and racial slurs on Indeed.com.

Red and yellow, black or white, they are precious in his sight.

You kind of have to think a rogue programmer did that for the lulz.  He should have put in quadroon, octoroon and quintroon.

Tbh, none of those choices are ethnicities

[jimmyjazz 45881]

Are "top" and "bottom" valid ethnicities?  Asking for Apple.

Hey take it up with the viceroyalty pal.

Holy fuck.  I've heard those terms in Spain for years, but I never knew there was an actual chart.

The Spanish are racist as hell, but that makes it official, apparently.  Crazy how you can get back to being Spanish in just two generations.

I'd also heard the term 'lobo' before, but I naively thought it was a wild child.  Guess not, because Spain is racist.

The San Antonio Art Museum had an exhibit that featured a giant ass Casta painting last year. Sure we have racists now, but it was such a big deal that dominated every aspect of colonial life. 

 

Here is a picture of the exhibit

This is factually inaccurate. The people in tile seis are not wearing practical, comfortable pants than can go business or casual, dinner or beach ... maybe even golf.

I like the hat on siete. It seems practical.

Very racist - no Colored allowed to apply apparently.

[XYZ 2154]

That is hilarious, like Sum Ting Wong.

I'd include a box asking them to check if they are a hot chick.

I'd include a box asking them to check if they are a hot chick.

And another asking if they enjoy ice cold bud light

I feel like I could eat a big piping hot plate of Mulato con Espanola Morisco right now.

I've had a bunch of black friends, but have never heard the term "ofay" except in this sketch.

IBM should only care if you were dot or feather.
