from my management time in Sacramento.

Every black was insisting on being called African american. State changed the labels. So the white guy across the hall claimed African american. he was born of Italian parents in Africa. They were Italians working in Kenya or one oath eastern countries. In meeting eh explained, I’m the only real african american in here and heads exploded.

Management meeting to discuss sighing mexican women who were unqualified. Just change the standards you see. I pointe out since the asian population state wide was 3.5% and we had 9.7% asian in Hdq, we had to hire fewer asians and more whites. Heads exposed. When you point out the implications of AA that other people get held back, there is no justification. We had AA since 1967and now is the time for just equality straight up

I had friends at church who spent a few years in South Africa. Both son and daughter were born there. Parents are US citizens. When the started college, they sought to join the African-American club on campus. They were denied. They were the only ones in the room that were actual African Americans. The others were just black Americans. Their problem was their genetics. Blue eyed, red haired, fair complexions...what you would expect of Scottish ancestry.

In keeping with your racial quota example, R.E.Hazard construction in San Diego was accosted by an Affirmative Action compliance inspection. He was accused of not have the right percentages of black and hispanic employees. He called them all to an assembly with the compliance inspector present. Upon counting his staff and accounting by race, he observed that he actually had too many blacks and hispanics. It would be necessary to fire the excess. The inspector was exposed as a fool and dismissed from the company property. Nobody was fired.
