Why would employing a black colored receptionist alienate your affluent white clients? Do you operate a clinic for treatment of xenophobia?

My Doctor's practice in Beverly Hills has primarily an affluent white clientèle and employs a popular black receptionist.

I don't think this has created even a single occurrence of panic disorder.

What sort of business do you operate where your clients are so hyper-excitable?

>>The diversity people argue I would receive some economic benefit by hiring a black receptionist.<<

i don't see that as their primary argument.

i see their primary argument as you will not screwing a human being over based on the color of their skin.

that's not to say that everyone who hires a white receptionist is screwing black people over.

but those folks who won't hire a qualified black person based on skin color... is definitely screwing someone over based on the color of their skin.

people should *really* get out more often.
