Oh, is that all? No wonder they don’t want a 19-year-old Eagle Scout with an okay community college record and experience as a lifeguard, OR a 47-year-old lady with a business degree who hasn’t held a job since 1995.
We’re citizens, though!
See? That's the problem: Y'all don't have an accent, you're educated, and you were born in this country.
I lost two jobs because of "affirmative action" and racial profiling.
In the first instance, I applied for a job in the BX at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, and help a black girl fill out the form. Two weeks later, as I went to cash a check, she was behind the counter. My experience in finances was much greater than hers.
In 1993, I was hired at an insurance company through the On-The-Job-Training program, and as soon as the federal funds ran out, I was "let go," and the immigrant I trained got my job, even though the boss said, "We'll hire you back." I looked that SOB in the eye, and said, "No you won't. But your federal funding will be rescinded as soon as I turn you in." And that was that.
You say that like you think it's a plus.
In the job market it is a significant minus.
