    I find you choice to use “victim blaming” in this context very telling.

    If you read the whole article, you read about hiring offices openly discriminating in an illegal way, and you read that it was so severe, people knew not to even apply to positions because the discrimination is so bad. If you’ve been in college or the job market in the last 10 years, I’m sure you also know this isn’t just made up or an isolated case.

    So who, in this context, is the “victim”? Who is “blaming” them? Obviously the victims are the people facing real and very extreme hiring discrimination. He’s not blaming the minorities who got hired instead, but I think that’s what you’re assuming here.

    You seem to believe that “victim” means minority by definition.
