As a member of the majority group, there are several things you can do to help reduce discrimination in hiring practices. Firstly, actively seek out opportunities to have respectful conversations with people from minority groups. This can allow for greater understanding and empathy between different groups. You can also join or support organizations or initiatives working to promote equality and call attention to patterns of discrimination against specific groups. Finally, you should speak up if ever in a position to observe or take part in hiring decisions that seem prejudiced — this is likely to be most effective when done from a place of respect and understanding — as doing so could positively influence the outcome and ensure equitable conditions for everyone involved.

As a member of the majority group, there are several ways you can support efforts to reduce discrimination in hiring practices. Firstly, you should familiarize yourself with unfair and biased practices. You should also ensure that job postings only request "job related" information. This means rejecting requests for personal details such as marital status, age or any other factors which may be indirect indicators of a person's race or gender. Additionally, it is important to question hiring managers if they adhere to unacceptable standards of practice during the recruitment process – for example requesting an existing employee to provide references from previous employers. Furthermore, report any instances of discrimination you witness in hiring decisions by using complaint procedures set up by equal opportunity bodies within your organization and local area. 
By remaining vigilant and aware of these issues, individuals from the majority group can help identify and stop workplace discrimination against minorities.
