There's no incentive, and no price to be paid if they don't. <br /><br />By the way, I've dealt with HP's agencies and let me tell you, foreigners on visas have no clue how American culture works. Just because someone has a foreign name doesn't instantly make them a person of color, HP, no matter how much your agencies are trying to pass them off as "multicultural experts." <br /><br />Those white South Americans and Europeans, and BAMEs from the UK, are struggling just as much as plain old white people in America to understand POC culture here, and importing them onto US soil doesn't automatically make HP or its agencies "woke." If anything, it puts HP at risk because they're going to screw something up, I can tell by how culturally clueless they're acting. 1stHandExperiencenoreply@blogger.com
