Assignment task: Oswald has a Nigerian background. Having worked part-time for a few months, he applies for a full-time position that has become vacant in his department. His manager, Peter, says that he has to choose between several candidates, but has found in the past that Nigerians and other African people are not as responsible or reliable as others, but he will think about it.
A. What steps can Oswald take to ensure his application is fairly considered?
B. Is there anything wrong with Peter's comment, given that he has dealt with other Nigerians?
