Is this from The Onion? Because I just cannot fathom this being reality. A simple literacy test supposedly discriminates between white and black applicants? What, does it use white man’s language?
Would it be more fair if it included some Ebonics???
another source.
In that part of GA it's apparently more likely to find an illiterate black person than an illiterate white person seeking a job.
Can't prove that by me ~ lots of all kinds of illiterates down there in the areas dominated by the paper pulp industry ~ like you can't believe.
It's quite possible the black population is simply more likely to apply for a job with these guys. Maybe they don't need to breathe in the morning or something.
“Because I just cannot fathom this being reality.”
It is.
This has happened quite a few times in the past twenty years or so. This is another facet of affirmative action.
fo’ shizzle!
