Question: So in order for someone to be racist, they must be a minority in the entire country? What about places where blacks predominate like Detroit and D.C. where they hold the political power?

Question: You’ve expressed your doubts that reverse discrimination exists, White Guy, but in this medium-sized factory, hourly workers aspiring to leadership positions are trained to parrot the following sentence, when asked: “All else being equal, we should always promote the woman or minority first.” Your comments, please.

Question: What made DiversityInc exclude white men and women from the cover of their recent magazine? If the intent is to show contributions to successful diversity programs by people of color, the cover hit the target, but it certainly excluded successful programs developed by whites.

Question: Do you think women and minorities will be appreciably different by 2028, so that they won’t “need” free stuff for their sex and/or skin color?

A reader asks the White Guy why DiversityInc appears to be going against the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. Read the answer here.

Question: I want to begin by saying I am intrigued on a weekly basis reading “Ask the White Guy.” Most people would avoid this kind of thing like the ghetto itself, yet you willingly invite folks to ask you tough questions. My question is simple … why do you care? All the points that you make (over and over and more eloquently every time) seem like a lot of work for you. It can’t make you popular among your family and friends—so why do you do it?

Question: I read articles off of DiversityInc.com all the time and I have often wondered what some of them have to do with diversity. It seems to me that if it is news and it has something to do with a minority then it gets to DiversityInc. My fault, I was under the assumption that diversity was about differences that can and cannot be seen, not just about minority/majority.

The furor over Oprah Winfrey’s immense humanitarian gesture of opening a school for girls in South Africa is spiraling. Has Winfrey become a target for verbal abuse because she’s a rich black woman who chose to spend her millions on needy black children overseas? Would a white, male millionaire get so much criticism for a philanthropic gesture of this magnitude? Is less expected of Winfrey simply because she’s black?

Question: From the fly-on-the-wall perspective … What is it that no black man knows, and no white man will tell?

Question: A situation I have always wondered about is the preponderance of companies that have instituted work-force diversity programs and the conflict of “true work-force diversity” with white privilege. As the “White Guy,” tell me your thoughts about this conflict and how the White Guy feels about this.

Question: I am a college biology professor who specializes in University Affirmative Action Programs. It is clear that human races are genetically different and have genetically adapted to where they evolved; these are scientific facts and are not debatable.

Question: DI asks, “How Will the NCAA Address the Lack of Black Coaches?” The Oakland Raiders’ Al Davis, decades ago, already had the correct answer. “Just win, baby.” Care to comment?

Question: Would not “giving” black contractors 2 percent of the available job, reserving that portion for blacks just because they are black, actually be easily understood, clearly defined reverse discrimination? And wouldn’t it also be patronizing, condescending, and unfair? Does it really help those presumed disadvantaged to give them free things solely because of the color of their skin?

Question: I recently overhead a conversation between our HR director, an African-American woman, and a hiring manager, a white woman. The HR director commented that she saw her success directly tied to hiring as many “women of color as possible” to which the hiring manager responded “my goal is to hire as many people of quality as possible.” How would you respond especially in light of a past response in which you commented that our past is full of double standards.

Question: There is no need for white people to think of other groups because everything is designed to be so easy for them … it is a “luxury” that they don’t even appreciate. Most black folks are forced to think about racial issues quite frequently, whether we want to or not. I imagine that it would be a luxury not to carry that burden. What do you think?
