Gender Discrimination Women in radio news were much more likely to cite gender discrimination than its reverse as affecting their careers. And, as Table 4 shows, men more often cited reverse discrimination. Percentages are not of the full sample, only of those who said gender had affected careers and then wrote in explanatory comments. Comments on Race Nearly all of the survey comments on race came from white majority news staff. But keep in mind that only 27 of the 414 radio respondents were minority, and two of them didn't respond to the questions on race and gender.
Minorities receive too much attention and consideration for equivalent positions and abilities.
If I were black, with my skills, I could name my price. It washes both ways. Sometimes a station is recruiting a minority candidate, and that would work to a white man's disadvantage. But overall, I still think white males enjoy greater networking opportunities. I've got American Indian blood, but professionally I've never put that fact on a resume.
