Yes, just takes more work and you still may not beat out the VP's nephew.

QFT +100. You see this alot here in California, where many immigrants (especially Asians) are disproportionately employed by their own countrymen as they don't have the network or connections in majority-American companies...

It's hard to see anything when you are a narrow minded ignoramus who is constantly spoon fed garbage by Maddow, MSNBC, or Ed Schultz.

‘It’s Hard to See Racism When You’re White’ - Godfather Politics

I saw alot of racism when I lived in KCMO in the early 90's coming from blacks. I was dating a black woman and got almost all of the hatred and racism directed towards me from blacks. neither she nor I liked it at all. just goes to show that any race can have racism directed towards them.

Just because she's female most definately does not that mean she is she is going to be at all sympathetic to what "minorities" have to go through in this country...

Not a conservative. Maybe, you have an ability to make more than simplistic, inane comments instead of discussing issues. Labeling people, or their arguments, is not debate.
