<p>I too would not dismiss the existence of racism, sexism, etc. but I see in my world an openness to true diversity in hiring…consistently. OP maybe you would acknowledge that while there are some businesses, organizations etc. that have unfair practices, there are some that are fair and do the right thing. </p>
<p>as in all things, you have to put the effort in and maintain faith that you will find a good opportunity that is right for you. don’t think it helps you to believe such negativity is commonplace or to be expected everywhere…</p>
