This Belgian businessman was in a Catch-22. Either he could have done what he really did, and inform a Nigerian-Belgian who sought employment at his firm that he couldn’t hire him because his dog likes to attack non-whites, and face risk of criminal or civil liability under the Belgian civil rights laws, or he could have taken the egalitarian path, hired him, put him at risk for dog bites, and have the Belgian equivalent to OSHA come down hard.
Why is it that the dogs are more willing to communicate racial messages that human beings seem to want to avoid?
