[quote=Anonymous]Sometime ago a friend mentioned that the head of a group of professionals was a very racist man, as he confided in her and had some outbursts that labeled him as such. Later, that man ended up firing two African Americans on his staff and admitted that he liked one Asian man because he "knew his place". At that time, the woman he confided in said that the discharge of the two individuals had nothing to do with race, but the circumstances that surrounded their cases had a lot to do with professional failure. She by the way was a very open nice person, but professionally incompetent.

Here is my question: If an organization or corporation has one or two extremely racist individuals, can those people poison the environment to the point that the minorities can not function at their best? 
Simple question.

I can not figure out why this woman could not step back and look at the big picture, but rather details about who did what...thus  according to her, it was not about race. [/quote]
