He detailed his teaching philosophy, explained a couple of concepts of teaching language and correctly answered all questions on classroom control/discipline. At the end of the interview, the superintendent stated that he had an awesome concept of teaching and had demonstrated an understanding of everything needed and then pointed to his notebook and explained that he had marked down every time the man had said "black" and "Mexican" in the interview, three times "black" and six times "Mexican". My friend was stunned.
He is married to a native of Mexico and has been for over 30 years. His son dated an "African-American" woman at one time of which he approved. And yet, here is this man telling him he used the wrong terms in referring to people. The superintendent told him that if he used those terms in the classroom, he would cause a major issue and that the school would get calls demanding the teacher be fired.
He went on to point out as this was discussed that the friend used the term "black" when referring to the superintendent yet again. He asked my friend why he used that term again. The friend answered, "Because that's what you are." Another individual in the interview group also told my friend that there were teachers there who were "African-American" and if he called them black "they would fight you." The friend was not going to take the job (on wife's advice), but was called the next day and told he would not be offered the position.
This true story really needs to hit some major media outlet, but we don't know how to get it out. If a journalist is truly interested, (s)he can PM me on this forum.
An attempt at intimidation during a public sector job
interview? Sounds swell.
We know how dumbass all the latterday identity politics
are, that now terms like “colored people” and “Orientals” were
used as neutral descriptors are now phrases that anger,
meanwhile whites can be called and accused as anything
under the sun
Let’s make everyone take dna tests and publicly display
their racial purity and get any social preference only if
you have no white bloodline. That will save the taxpayers
trillions.
Just curious though what was the context in which “black”
and “Mexican” was used so many times and so
objectionable ? We know the
half white (er European American) purple lipped rat eared dogeaters America was racist and self-hating to the core
Are “people of color” colored people ? Asking for a friend.
