1. >Why are people being discriminated against?

   >Discrimination mainly has to do with prejudice, says Van Belle. “Everyone has prejudices. When 100 people are applying, people often take only one look at a CV. Prejudices will come to the surface.”

   >**Most employers are not racists. Yet those prejudices lead us to look differently at people with a different surname.**

   >**How that happens is not always clear.** “We are doing a lot of research on this. For example, we are investigating to see what people mainly look at a cover letter and what is really important. That research is still in full swing.”

   So, most of the employers have prejudices and discriminate based on origin, but, hey, most of them are not racists…

   I don´t know, Rick…

   Nobody will say that employers and most of the people in Belgium would go out hunting and killing foreigners because they hate them, but it is evident and all studies show that there is a latent racism in housing and work, like in every other country.

2. yeah like woah subconscious bias? damn shocking news 🤔

3. Alle vacatures die internationaal open gezet worden trekken 80% Indiërs, Egyptenaren etc… aan. Voor mij lastig, want dan zit ik met alle administratie, aangezien ze allemaal geen werkvergunning of verblijfsvergunning hebben. Verder heb ik nog geen enkele match gehad tussen job description en opleiding. De meeste van deze applicanten sturen mijns inziens random de CVs in. Ik ben intern verplicht ze allemaal te bekijken, maar eindig uiteindelijk met een Europese aanwerving. Tegenwoordig sterke profielen uit Spanje, Duitsland en Polen.
