Take my advice and from now on always check the Latino box if you’re white when applying for a job. I’ve hired lots of people in my career and HR always pushes the minorities down a hiring managers throat. You don’t even get resumes of whites until you’ve gone through 3 rounds of minorities sent to you. And no one follows up on it to prove you are what you say you are anyway. And how could they? They wouldn’t dare question your minority status. You could say you’re half Latino and one parent was from Argentina or something where many of them are European and look white anyway. I’ve learned you have to play the game at this point if you want to survive. After all ashkenazi jews look white but they don’t consider themselves to be white. They consider jewishness as their ethnicity as well. So hey they have been getting away with it for decades so just play the game. And bonus points if you’re brave enough to claim tranny status along with latino as well. Heck you could sit at work all day with your thumb up your butt and still not get fired as a lawsuit threat is a powerful fear of employers who would try to hold them accountable. If anyone thinks they are going to be able to keep checking that caucasion box and scream reverse discrimination and have something done about it then you have not figured out that will go over like farting in church.

I LOVE IT DONALD!

I grew up with guys that went through this 40 years ago! I grew up in San Francisco (when it was a magnificent city). So many qualified guys that scored high and were on a waiting list for years! They were passed over for a more “diverse” fire department😱 (mostly Irish).

I was a cop for 23 years, but I worked hard for this job, and I did the same as the men. I’m a “pretty white girl”…and tough as nails! I never got special treatment, nor would expect it.

I was fired for non-CONvid compliance at 57🤬.

Excellent commentary, that’s long overdue! Thank you!
