Storylines such as "I did not get that job because of a black man" and "Irish, Italians and Jews have made it, why can’t they?"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The said statements are open to discussion.

Explanation:

The glass ceiling effect can be used to describe why a person feels he or she cannot go further on their professional work based on a stereotype. This was at first against women and then for black people. However, today, it can go either way.

In the statement of different "peoples" being able to get jobs, the social capital plays a role since these peoples are individualized into a social group that share certain values, so those values make them suitable for a particular "job" . This can also play as a pro or a con when someone is trying to succeed.
