Ty applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous firm based in
Detroit. A white man applied for the
same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they
were asked to take a test and led to a
quiet room with no interruptions by the Manager. When the results
were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.




The manager went to Tyrone and said, "Thank you for coming to the
interview, but we've decided to give the
white guy the job."



Tyrone, "And why would you be doing that, are you a racist? We both
got
19 questions right? This being Detroit and me being Black surely I
should get the job."


Manager, " We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but
on the question you got wrong.." Tyrone
said, "Tell me now, how would one incorrect answer be better than
another?"


Manager, "Simple. On question number 7, the white guy wrote down, 'I
don't know.' You put down, Me neither."
