It is not from the ATLAS experiment, but of another LHC experiment -- but still within the organisation of CERN.
The comment/quote is about evaluating people -- ie. by the simplest budgeting metric, labour cost (with obvious consequences for peer evaluation). It has nothing to do with colour but with peer evaluation of equivalent work, differentiated according eastern or western membership.
edit: unable to reply to the comment below. But I can cite concrete case(s) in which work was performed in Geneva by both eastern and western member within the same group. China isn't a memberstate anyway.
Uh, it says labour costs in different countries. I.e. if the work is done in China then wages may be lower, if it's done in Switzerland then wages will be higher.
There's no big conspiracy here by CERN, just different wages in different countries.
That is referring to production costs for the calorimeter, which is part of the ATLAS detector, (it picks up neutral particles IIRC.)
It doesn't refer to differentiating between work done by white people and non white people actually at CERN, which is what you seem to be implying?
