The reality is that we tend to hire people of our race. For example, I knew of a manufacturing company that was started by an Iranian immigrant. Almost all his office staff and managers that he dealt with directly were Iranians. The people are on the factory floor were all immigrants from every country like China and the Philippines.

I knew an IT company that was looking for JAVA programmers. The team leader quietly admitted that he was going to toss aside resumes from Chinese and Indian immigrants since he didn't feel comfortable with them.

As a contractor, I worked in the headquarters of a giant multi-national food processing company. Almost all of the 300 office workers were Caucasians from Toronto's suburbs. I counted only around 5 black people in the company. I estimate that there were only around 30 Asians in the company.
