rut roh racism

I'm at a large international conference that also has a job search portion. There are tons and tons of people here, and we're all gung-ho about the same topic, so it's kinda fun. I've noticed, however, an unsettling trend.

I've watched four black people be approached by potential employers, all of whom were from different companies. The number of white/asian/hipanic individuals I've seen receive this sort of attention? Zero.

These employers are looking for intelligent, educated, dedicated people. That description comes in every skin color. So why are only the black ones being approached?
