Truth in advertising.
Must be a Mexican Restaurant
I wonder what would be the outrage if he had posted:
‘Help wanted. Must be American.’
?
That’s just wrong. They can ask for people who speak Spanish. But wrong to ask for only Mexicans. In my youth I was working at a gas station when it got a new owner, a Mexican. I speak some Spanish (I have no latin heritage), so he kept me while bringing in his own staff. But one day I mangled a phone call from a customer so he let me go. I did’nt care because he was a crook cheating his Mexican customers.
ping.
Probably means must speak Spanish, but the Mexicans already working at that Burger King are to dumb to put that on the sign.
Who can’t learn to say “Whopper” and “Fries” in English?
I honestly wouldn’t be offended by it and it wouldn’t bother me at all IF we could put up signs that read “Now Hiring Must be Heterosexual,” or “Now Hiring Must be Christian,” or “Now Hiring Must be Jewish,” etc. But until then, it ought to go.
If the PC storm troopers lay off of bakeries, caterers, florists, etc. who refuse to service gay wedding receptions on religious and moral grounds, then MAYBE I wouldn’t have a problem with this.
Something wrong — no leaves on the trees in Ephrata at this time.
Guatemalans need not apply.
Mexicans don’t count toward ObamaCare numbers
These jobs used to be for teenagers. These immigrants were not brought in because of a teenager shortage, they just crowded out the teenagers. This is why the black youth unemployment rate is so fantastically high, and they see no future and get into gangs and shoot each other. These types of jobs were a way into the work force for Americans, and now it isn't there.
Legalizing illegals, raising the minimum wage, and expanding EBT for the people crowded out, is trying to fix the wrong problems. Just get Americans back into these jobs, and it will fix a lot of problems.
For what it’s worth, I went to the Burger King Facebook page where someone had left the following message to someone else....
“They responded back to me said it happened last summer they fired the person who posted the sign they encourage diversity all races.”
I don’t navigate Facebook very well....someone else may be able to find something a little more....authoritative.
Mexican means not subject to taxes, withholding, minimum wage or Obamacare.
Americans are priced out of the market by the government.
The Roman Empire required citizens to collect taxes. There just were not enough taxes to collect, but as citizens they couldn’t dodge responsibility. Their wives and children were sold into slavery first, then the Roman citizens were sold into slavery.
Or like St Augustine (of Hippo?), sold their citizenship to a foreigner with wealth, that wanted greater social standing.
Most of the mexicans I run in to don’t speak spanish, they speak some weird indian dialect with a tiny vocabulary and no syntax — very much like grunts and gestures actors use when portraying cavemen.
If it said, “Must be white”, every news organization in the world would be running a story on how racist the USA is.

These days you have to fill your minority quota in order to avoid trouble with the racial police of both government and civilian varieties.
“Mexican” = Obamacare exempt ,, doesn’t affect the biz hitting the target number ...
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I have no problem with the sign. It is a step in the right direction. Maybe one day there will be help wanted ads for “white, Christian, heterosexual, married male”.
