Who obsesses more over skin color: liberals or conservatives?

East Colfax Neighborhood Association proposes financial incentives for RNOs that diversify
November 21, 2019 By David Sachs - Denverite
Quote:
When the city government needs a sounding board on decisions big and small, it turns to Denver’s network of registered neighborhood organizations, local groups that ostensibly speak for their neighbors. But while they speak loudly, they don’t always reflect the entire neighborhood. RNOs, as they’re called, tend to be more white and well-off than the places they represent, according to several RNO members who spoke with Denverite.

Can you pass the skin color test?
Phoenix is 41% Hispanic and if you're a young Hispanic adult who has finished High School and some higher education, be it a four-year school or Community College, your odds of getting hired are better than if you are plain vanilla white.
When you go in to apply for a job in Phoenix you're likely to get a skin color test. They have these 'tapes' that will measure how dark your skin color is and if you have pale colored skin then your prospects aren't so good.
Consider American Express; Their site across 56th street from the Mayo Clinic is adding a newly constructed quite large 4-story project that will enable them to grow their workforce to about 10,000 employees. They're obviously using a skin color test because a significant majority of employees have darker colored skin.
Or maybe, just maybe it's all about one's skills and has nothing to do with one's skin color? Perhaps being bi-lingual or even multi-lingual is an important and desirable skill? American Express, for example, has a large clientele from India and Asia?
Are you saying it's OK to discriminate against 'white' people just because they can only speak the 'official' language of America? Yes and yes.
BTW, with Hispanics being 41% of the Phoenix population the amount of economic power and wealth accumulation is strong. And guess what; they have the same desires (and weaknesses) as the 'ruling' white class'. They can be just as protective of their neighborhood and older Hispanics often have differing views from their children about many things. It's all very shocking.
