An Aldi supermarkets employment ad has some conservatives complaining on social media that it shows the German-owned discount grocer is no longer hiring white people.
A woman in a Feb. 4 Instagram video said, "Guys, you missed it. Aldi is hiring everybody but white people."
As evidence of her claim, the woman read from a LinkedIn job listing Jobs for Humanity posted for a national procurement specialist that read:
"Jobs for Humanity is partnering with Aldi to build an inclusive and just employment ecosystem. Therefore, we prioritize individuals coming from the following communities: Refugee, Neurodivergent, Single Parent, Blind or Low Vision, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Military Veterans, the Elderly, the LGBTQ, and Justice Impacted individuals. This position is open to candidates who reside in and have the legal right to work in the country where the job is located."
