so your trying to say because your white you cannot get a job. nonsense! did you even apply? or go to a interview? or did you just see that and assume??

I've tried in the past and it never worked out, I guess I can still call the company up tommorow =p It's basically just being a customer service rep with dinky requirements like knowing how to use microsoft office and being able to type 40 words a minute (LOL?)

You're not out of the running unless the ad says something to the effect of: minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.

Another bad sign is when an employment ad acknowledges that they are actively seeking an applicant with much less than standard qualifications for a particular field.

personally, i always withhold my race and gender on applications and forms whenever possible. that way i remain an individual and not part of a statistic that governments can use to justify racist actions.
