Try getting a city contract in Detroit as the true minority and you will find out what racism is all about. It is currently something like 85-90% black.

try getting a construction job if your employed crew is legally in the country or citizens of the country.

It's very sad. I know people in the trades, and they have set up fronts to get business. They get a "minority", (black, which is a majority), to front a company and submit the bid. The government favors the "minority owned" business and awards him the contract. The front subs the job out to the real business. The real business makes as much as they would have had they submitted the bid straight up. The minority owner simply collects a check. The government over pays for the work.

We all lose.
