In that part of GA it's apparently more likely to find an illiterate black person than an illiterate white person seeking a job.
Can't prove that by me ~ lots of all kinds of illiterates down there in the areas dominated by the paper pulp industry ~ like you can't believe.
It's quite possible the black population is simply more likely to apply for a job with these guys. Maybe they don't need to breathe in the morning or something.
The mill is in Louisiana.
Actually, this is in Port Hudson, Louisiana, just north of Baton Rouge. Not too far from a 600 trailer Katrina village in Baker.
So, now the list of things you cannot “discriminate” against in hiring is being illiterate? What’s next?
