Tinotenda Charles Rutanhira migrated to the U.S. from Zimbabwe in the year 2,000. He came with a degree, an insatiable work ethic and the desire to own his rightful slice of the American pie. But despite his best efforts, no one would take seriously in the workforce.
“Stereo-anti-types” is a special series from Homegoings examining some of the most troubling, most profound and most dangerous stereotypes that apply to Black men. In part three of the series, “The myth of the stupid Black person” host Myra Flynn speaks with Tinotenda Charles Rutanhira, who came to the United States as a refugee from Zimbabwe. When he arrived, he already had a bachelor’s of commerce in business and information systems from Rhodes University in South Africa, and went on to more schooling in the U.S. to obtain a computer science degree. And still — no one would hire him.
