When two sets of resumes are sent out, identical ones except for norwegian names on one set and foreign names on the other set, and the norwegian set gets many times the number of calls to interview than the foreign set, then the answer is simply plain old racism.

Which is why we need such laws here in Norway, to ensure that the best qualified person gets the job. Do we white, heterosexual males feel that we got our jobs because of our ethnicity and not our qualifications? No? Then I see no reason why any ethnics should feel that way.


I can't speak for the rest of the world, however.
