white. I've done field studies for this firm before, and you answer online questions, and the first one you don't qualify for, they then let you know you don't qualify. The one asked for your race, and I check "Caucasian" - and then it told me I didn't qualify.  Bummer. |

So? It's common for fields of study to exclude certain demographics.

Who said there's no such thing as racial bias and preferential treatment in this day and age?
People still think there's white privilege?

Plus I'm a boomer. And a woman. Three strikes. Being a woman used to help. We were protected and empowered. But being white in today's new world is definitely a strike against us. Advancements in technology is definitely turning us into quite the ageist society.

Yes, society really is set up against white people. *Holds in laughter*

Advancements in technology is definitely turning us into quite the ageist society. I find it odd that the "Karen" meme is being used to devalue the opinions of white women. It's a very misogynistic stereotype being used to keep women "in their place". Why are feminists not attacking this? Because your description is a lie.

white. I've done field studies for this firm before, and you answer online questions, and the first one you don't qualify for, they then let you know you don't qualify. The one asked for your race, and I check "Caucasian" - and then it told me I didn't qualify. Bummer. It's ok. As you said, you've done studies for them before. You'll get another chance.

You're fine. I can't imagine how it is to be black. No one who isn't black can. I didn't mean this to be "that" kind of thread. It was kind of funny for me, more like a "ha ha ha! Old white lady got pawned!"

That was my misunderstanding. It is funny when you explain it that way.

Pinky, are you being sarcastic, in that comment? I check all three of those boxes, and if that isn't sarcasm, I can't understand what you mean.

Married - CHECK! Own Residence - CHECK! Income - CHECK! FT Employment - CHECK! Medical Conditions - CHECK! Non-smoker - CHECK! Race - BUZZER!!!!!! YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS STUDY!

Of you've been a part of this specific study before it might be because they need more minorities in their sample. |
