This Charming Man


There were countless amounts of discrimination in the movie. “One limited area where race claims have had some success is in challenges to “no beard” policies”, (Human Resource Management, Page 80). In this movie it didn’t aim toward the people with beards, but the nationality of the person itself. They took down on anyone that was Arabic, so they purposely send their calls to someone else. Also putting them in another class for language help, but its not going to help them get any jobs just because of their race. While in this short film his papers which contained his personal information, got mixed up with a Pakistan man. The luck wasn’t in his favor after he tried disguising himself as a Pakistan person. This bad move didn’t allow him to get him hired anywhere that he applied for because of the name he was trying to disguise as. In nearly all cases, hospitality managers such as Latisha can (and often do) legally impose rules and guidelines that have a basis in social norms, such as those prohibiting visible tattoos, body piercings, or earrings for men. Even thought he didn’t break any of these rules he was still disrespected from his appearance and name. “While tattoos and piercings may be examples of employee self-expression, they generally are not recognized as signs of religious or racial expression (and thus are not typically protected under federal discrimination laws), (Human Resource Management, Page 78).  Although he did have a mustache, he didn’t get the time or day to even know what type of guild lines to follow. The unnecessary racial jokes were tossed around in this movie, and it’s not hard to believe this happens at everyday jobs. The misconceptions of races and individuals are a daily issue. Jobs need to crack down and not allow any discrimination in their workforce.
