The Labor Public Attorney Office ('Ministério Público do Trabalho') ruled the retail chain #MagazineLuiza didn't break any laws by limiting the hiring process for their 2021 trainee program for blacks only.

#Brazil has two laws that seek to balance the racial inequality. One is an antidiscrimination law that prohibits hiring based on color, sex, belief, etc, and an affirmative action law that defines quotas for certain kinds of people so that they have a minimum representation in an institution or business.

One has to be careful not to let the outrage produced by this rule and express the wish to do something in the opposite direction, especially if related to whites, which we believe could be very well what the left, which still controls most of the media, would love to happen and then have a reason to accuse one of #whitesupremacism, #whiteprivilege, #racism, etc.

Brazil has decades of leftist administrations, and leftist servants have been made more and more part of all public institutions, and one shouldn't wonder why a judge would rule in favor of this absurd. We now have a solid rightwind president and he has been doing a good job in deleftizing the system, but it's less 2 years against more than 40.

A big Brazilian retail chain called #MagazineLuiza announced that they are going to only allow black people to apply for their 2021's treinee program. The reason is to do justice due to the past of slavery and due to the institutional and systemic racism that many unfoundly claim to still exist.

ML belongs to a person who's a leftist was a strong supporter of the previous presidential administrations, so no one needs to wonder how in the world they would come to a such point.

#Brazil already has an antiracism law that keeps businesses from discriminating against people during a hiring process based on color, faith, gender, religion, etc, and also an #affirmativeaction law that defines quotas based on race at any kind of institution and also in businesses.

ML's program breaks both laws. It's a clear attempt to virtual signal and, we believe, an attempt to see the president or a secretary (minister) say something the media can use to label as racist and make news, but no one has made any annoucement about this and this is good.

Only people who are really supposed to be fighting this upfront and openly, like starting an investigation or a lawsuit, are doing so, like some representatives.
