--------------

Julie works in the human resources department of a family-owned business that manufactures specialty parts for bicycles. Business has been looking to hire more assembly line employees. Julie's close friend Bandu has been out of work and looking for a job. Julie suggests that Bandu complete an online employment application with her company. " I know the owner and can put in a good word for you," she tells him. When Bandu's application comes through, Julie checks it over and sends it to the it to the owner for final approval. The next day it is returned to her marked "Rejected." When Julie asks why, the owner seems uneasy. "What I'm about to tell you is confidential," he warns her. "This is a small company. We seem to be more comfortable and productive when we don't have too much diversity. That's been our policy in the past, and I don't see any point in changing things now"

Although he has lived in America for several years, Bandu was born in India. Julie knows that he is talented, smart, and hard-working. She enjoys her job and makes good money, but she is angry at the owner for discriminating against Bandu and is embarrassed that she has to tell her friend that he will not be hired. As Julie looks around the company, it dawns on her that there aren't many emploees who are members of a racial or ethnic minority group. She wonders whether she should quit her job in protest, report this fact to someone, or keep her mouth shut and try to help Bandu find a different job.
