A BELGIAN businessman rejected a Nigerian job applicant because the businessman said his own dog was racist and would bite non-whites.
When a 53-year-old Nigerian man arrived at the Belgian’s wrought-iron business, he was immediately confronted by the barking dog and was turned away before he could even enter.
