Tell them you’re a black, transgendered, lesbian, illegal alien, Muslim and you’ll be just fine.
Funny you should say that. After Katrina, I moved to Texas from Biloxi MS to look for work as my business had been destroyed (business owners and the self-employed, such as commissioned salespeople don’t get unemployment insurance) and was denied food stamps because I was white. Later, I found a job as a supervisor at the Texas Workforce Center overseeing the give-aways to the New Orleans Katrina evacuees. No, I’m not kidding.
