Is my boss racist?!
Ok guys I really hate when people cry "racist" or attribute things to rampant racism, but I think in this case someone I work with has a point. The owner of the store I work for is as far as I can see quite discriminatory. He has a mandated 80% white 20% nonwhite hiring ratio (and raises Cain when he doesn't have it) and made our manager's life hell (and drove her to quit) after the ratio became closer to 65-35. He sends all of the African-American workers "to the back" to wash dishes and do other backroom type jobs. He maybe gives them one shift a week and has already fired 2 black girls who were hired the same time I was (roughly 2 months ago) for things that they definitely should not have been fired for. One of my coworkers (who is black) filed a complaint against the company and my boss gave her a raise basically to buy her silence. Unfortunately it worked, but I can't fault her for it because she desperately needs money. He does not speak to the non-white workers when he does come to the store (rarely).
I really feel like this is something that needs to be fixed/exposed, but I don't want to lose my job. What should I do about it??
