Over the years we have employed people from all around the world. The only racial problems we had were :-
On hiring a very talented artist who happened to be Nigerian one of our older employees, a woman objected and decided to leave rather than work with a black guy. The fact she worked with Chinese, Singaporea and Middle Eastern people made no difference to her, but black... Such a shame, her work was really first class.
Talking of Middle Eastern, our first problem, soon after we started up, our second step on the expansion ladder was hiring Hamid as lead artist. Two people took the huff that a muslim was hired to take a prestigious position that both thought they were in line for. It turned out one was professional jealously, the other had this thing with muslims coming over here to steal our jobs. Both came round in time to accept Hamid as the man for job.
Admittedly we were not a front of counter concern, but racism among staff can cause disastrous results?
