What's really strange if when they become the by-far majority and still claim to be a minority so they can get affirmative action and government money. In this region one "minority" is over 80% of the population, still refers to itself as a minority and demands affirmative action and minority program money.
He was newly divorced and had come into town on the bus. He had been in town less than a week. He was nearly broke. He said somebody (probably a church) had given him a bag of groceries to last until his first paycheck. He was staying in a motel on a housing chit. He had no car, nothing but a suitcase of clothes.
They had started him at $13.00+ an hour. The extra four hours would have been overtime at $20.00 an hour. Here he was sitting in a coffeeshop snorting that he wasn't married to no damn job and that he had better things to do. This was his first day, the best that his employer can ever expect to see him. I've got an idea that he's on someone's short list.
I suspect that a lot of people are going to feel a lot of pain before the attitude adjustment is finished.
