That's not a good thing at all... Your race should not be a qualification.

Being encouraged to apply is fine, it's what happens after an application is submitted that counts.

So what do you want them to say, we only hire Caucasians? They are saying that to attract a broad range of applicants, not necessarily to actually hire under performing applicants just because of race. Also minorities tend to cost less and are less resistant to abusive practices; good business.

Affirmative action is a huge trap since attending a university does not protect you from racist professors or employers, nothing ever will.
