Hi RoyBoy and all you guys
I personnally have a different experience from most people on this thread, having worked mainly in third world countries. In these places, racism does take place more often than not on the job. On the one side you have companies for "locals" where you stand no chance as a white boy, and companies for "whites" where you'd better be of clear complexion... In both cases discrimination will take place during recruitment, upgrades and transition to larger airplanes. And in both cases it becomes hard to know when are these decisions taken based on ability, seniority, or race.
If you believe you will discriminated against, you will be.
This is probably the best advice on the matter here. However it seems minority pilots often have to work twice as hard (or be twice as good) to get the same credit.
Anyways, my impression is you guys will be better off working in Europe, the USA, or any other place where people have gone beyond that race issue.
Good luck to yall.
