A tech company in Virginia has been fined thousands of dollars by the Justice Department over a job advert seeking “whites only” candidates.

In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology services firm based in Ashburn, posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website Indeed for a business analyst for the company’s sales and insurance claims team.

The job posting said that the company was looking for “US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]”, according to the DOJ.

      The entire country could be white male straight Christians rolling coal on the weekends and they’d still complain because their neighbors don’t match.

      Irish/Italians/Catholics would lose their white privilege again.

      No, no, no. Don’t lump the want for ACTUAL equal treatment regardless of the color of your skin in with anti choice, Christian right-wing.

      It’s entirely possible to want one and none of the other things you listed.

      If those reading this need to hear it from some who’s not white (because you care about the color of peoples skin more than anyone I knew growing up in west Texas in the 90’s) check out Coleman Hughes.
