Policies designed to compensate for past discriminatory practices are themselves considered discriminatory and to suggest minorities are inferior. In fact, a complex system of cultural norms precedes the influence of merit. For African American males one such norm is skin color. The present study was undertaken to determine the implications of skin color for the workplace. The data showed a significant relationship between light skin and aspiration to prestigious occupations.
