Senior VP at the Walt Disney Company Details Discriminatory Hiring Practices: ‘They’re Not Considering Any White Males for the Job’

EXCERPT:

GIORDANO: “I mean, I’ve been at the company for 11 years now, so I have friends in HR and I have friends in those divisions. And they’re like, ‘Look, nobody else is going to tell you this, Mike, but they’re not considering any white males for this job. They’re just not.’ Like, that’s not who they want.”

O’KEEFE: “They even passed over a qualified half-black person for a promotion because they didn’t look black enough.”

GIORDANO: “We wanted to hire somebody in the department a few years ago now, who was half-black, but didn’t, like, appear half-black. And there was a creative executive who was like, ‘We’re not — like, that’s not — that’s not what’s wanted.’ They wanted somebody in meetings who would appear a certain way, and he wasn’t gonna bring that to the meeting.”
