    I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.

      I swear to fucking christ

      Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision

      I’m not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

        chill… just discussing how i feel about a topic on a discussion forum. not that serious, you’re under no obligation to reply.

        This statement didn’t come from lawyers btw. I suggest you look into non discrimination laws and youll see why i feel the way i do.
