Poll: True Businessmen aren't Racist

[Kajin]

My opinion is that the only color that matters to a business owner is green and the only religion that matters is profit. So long as you are a green, profit worshipping employee (Do your job and make me money), it shouldn't truly matter what the color of your skin is and what god you worship when not on my clock.

That's what I think. As such, it always baffles me when businesses are often accused of racism, and it confuses me even more when the findings are accurate. Why? No, really, why? It shouldn't matter what makes up an employee's being so long as they do their job and make the owner money. Shouldn't that be the way things really work in life? Your thoughts, escapist. Please.

EDIT
Ignore the poll >.<

Any businessman who takes what they do seriously isn't a racist - all they care about is employing the most productive person for the job, that way they make a greater profit. By deliberately excluding a certain part of the labour market all they are doing is denying themselves greater opportunities to hire productive employees.

Businessmen weren't born businessmen. Anything can affect their personal outlook on life.

I don't understand the question.

Of course businessmen can be racists, they are humans. Some of them only care about money but even those can be racist.

Sorry. It's, like, 8 am for me right now and I posted the question in a fit of insomnia-induced boredom.

The distinction between businessmen and true businessmen (as far as I'm concerned) is that true businessmen shouldn't be capable of racism, or are at the very least capable of seeing past a person's identifiable outside traits. To the true businessman, the only things that matter are profit. It shouldn't matter what religion you follow or what the color of your skin is to the true businessman. So long as you make a tidy profit for the owner than who you are should be irrelevent to him/her.

Does that make anymore sense? Should I go away and rework the question after I've gotten some sleep?

@Kajin: Good topic, could have done with a bit more detail on your part, possibly if you could dig up some articles.

In the words of Robert Guest, the respected author of Shackled Continent, and a staff writer for Economist, economic empowerment is foolish. Good employers will employ competent, motivated staff regardless of colour, creed or so on. Bad ones will let their prejudices get in the way, and will, due to that reason, go out of business, leaving only good employers. As such, simple logic dictates that soon racism will become a very small factor in business decisions.

Ok now I get it.

True businessmen can be racist (I'm sure some are) but if the only thing they want is money than they can look past their racism or at least they should. If they don't they can lose their job (if possible) or they get less customers which means less money and that makes every true businessmen a sad panda.
