Sounds like the New Mexico I used to live in----Although most of the rest of the state discriminates by hiring 'latinos' instead of white kids. they're sick!!!!

This fine young man definitely needs a lawyer. This kind of stuff is disgusting. Someone should contact him and do this for free. Wish I were a lawyer.

We could ask congress to make Iraq veterans a protected group as was done for Vietman veterans -- that would give folks like him some leverage in this kind of situation.

Yep. That's the Navajos. Just awful--complete racists, and not just against whites, against anyone who isn't navajo!
