Interesting.....as a small business owner here in CT, I keep getting bombarded with "equal oppurtunity employment" crapola.

The latest form is "the supplier diversity program supplier profile form"....which includes:

African Americans
Hispanic Americans
Asian Pacific Americans
Native Americans
Subcontinent Asian Americans (whatever the hell that is)
Hasidic Jewish Americans
Non minority women

I completed some Graphic art / promotional work for a marketing firm in Wilton Ct and I'm gonna be black-balled (no racial pun intended) if I don't fill out this form, which inquires about the racial make-up of both my employees as well as all of MY SUPPLIERS!

Sheeeeesh, like I have time for this sh!t.

As an American of Irish decent, I'm a little miffed that the Gub-mint doesn't have a set aside welfare progrm for ME.

"Hispanic Americans" - gee, I would guess that means people from the European isthmus nation of Spain.

Funny, but why don't they include Portugal? Someone who lived across the street from the border with Spain could immigrate to the United States and get no preference at all, even though they lived in essentially the same place and had essentially the same ethnic origins!

Isn't that awful?! Justice for the Portugese! Where's Mary Berry when ya need her?
