So my application to KPMG got turned down, quite literally, because I am white and male. That was their exact reason, if in a few more words. Honestly, this BEE bullshit makes me shake my head in despair. The people who are coming through the university system now are those who have had access to proper schooling (before the current government fucked the system up, even) and the opportunities most of us whiteys had during the apartheid years. Consequently, this BEE system is going from a method for economic redress to nothing more than a system of racial discrimination. It's exceptionally frustrating that no matter how hard I work, and how much I achieve, I am still passed over for the good jobs based solely on the colour of my skin and my gender.
Getting over this country VERY quickly, I must say.
