Flat out refused, and was highly confused as to why I was being demonized for it. Apparently believing a person skin color / gender identity doesn’t matter and shouldn’t affect hiring is now a bad thing. Was real fun when I was told that refusing to be alone with a female after hours is now sexist. Umm, not a chance in hell.
Wait what? I've always heard that as a male, if you're going to be alone with a female, it's always good to do things like keep the door open and things like that. Did they tell you the opposite? Isn't it pretty risky for females?

Keyword is "colorblind racism". The new ideaology basically says that instead of focusing on the world as it should be (everyone is equal regardless of race/sex/etc) and act that way, we should look at how it is now and act to compensate (minorites are oppressed so we compensate, etc).
Want a just society? Stick to merit, shun hate, and minimize bias.
