Tyrone applied for a fork lift operator job at a famous firm based in
Detroit. A white man applied for the same job and since both applicants
had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test and led to a quiet
room where there would be no interruptions by the Manager.

When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.

The manager went to Tyrone and said, "Thank you for coming to the
interview, but we've decided to give the white guy the job."

Tyrone asks, "And why would you be doing that, are you a racist? We both
got 19 questions right, right? This being Detroit and me being Black,
surely I should get the job."

The Manager replied, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers,
but on the question you got wrong."

Tyrone said, "Tell me now, how would one incorrect answer be better than
another?"

The Manager, " Simple. On question number 7 the white guy wrote down, 'I
don't know.' You put down, 'Neither do I'."
