Social Culture and Gender Roles

With the differential treatment women have to deal with, it is twofold if you are a woman of color applying for the same position. It isn’t really a big issue if there is a black woman dating or marrying outside of her race. This is because of the stereotype that most still have of black men and their worth or character. Ethnic women are looked over for positions in a lot of cases because of their image is not what most of corporate America deem to be professional. Men are thought to dominate most positions of authority and managerial positions in an office environment. People already have a predisposed view of ethnic women concerning their work habits and attitudes.

Most people may be beyond racial issues or gender issues. For instance if a black woman wears braids or an elaborate hairstyles, then she is not professional. Most women are looked over for positions not mainly because of them not being qualified, but because of non-work related commitments and issues that many women face due to having families.
