When governments play favorites on the basis of race in awarding contracts, the real scandal isn't people who illegally pretend to be of the favored race or gender or ethnicity, but the discrimination practiced by the government. That is my takeaway from this story by Samantha Bonkamp of the Chicago Tribune.

The president and manager of a car wash that was under contract to wash city vehicles have been charged with defrauding Chicago of more than $900,000 by allegedly using suppliers that didn't comply with the minority business requirements. The two allegedly devised a scheme to inflate prices and make it appear as if the car wash was in line with the rules.

Every minority set-aside program in existence is pre-designed scam and pay-off to political cronies.

Isn't this what Senator Fauxahontus did?

[Responsibility2nd]

Is it really possible to defraud a fraudulent political fraud in the first place?

Really??

Only in Chicago.

[Cubs Fan]

all minority set aside programs should be defrauded, they are racist tyranny and should not exist.

Rachel Dolezal did it, everyone knew she did it, she was acclaimed for doing it.

So why not ?

Why isn’t Pocahontas being prosecuted under this statute?

Don’t forget shawn(talcum X) King and his BLM scam.

We should all declare ourselves minorities and crash the system.

[AppyPappy]

Identify as a minority.

is there any “minority set-aside” in the country that hasn't been embezzled by the same minorities they were set up to assist? And we're to trust these same people to do the right thing if and when wypepo are a minority? Fat chance!
