Ironic, these are the same sorts of people who say that others are trying to squash their opinions by bringing race into a discussion. You don't end a discussion by saying someone is "pulling the race card" either.
Started this thread because I pointed out that in the service industry in Manhattan there tends to be a lot of look-ism and the less diverse a staff is, the more money there is to be made in that bar/restaurant/lounge/nightclub. That's just a fact. The only place I know that has a majority minority waitstaff in Manhattan is TGI Friday's, and everyone knows no one makes any money there. Also if you are black and have natural hair, you can kiss a lot of opportunity to make money in the industry goodbye.
Saying race has something to do with anything isn't "pulling the race card". I know that's how ignorant people like to squash discussion about truths that make them uncomfortable but try harder.
Of course there are people who seem to think race is a factor in everything, but just by looking at the internet the biggest abuse of the "race card" is simply overuse of the expression.
Interesting. I hate when people call any dissent towards minorities "racist".
We see it here constantly. Anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist. We don't dislike the man because of his politics, we dislike him because he's black. That's the narrative from the leftists here, each and every one of them.
I'll stop accusing them of playing the race card when they stop playing it.
Maybe there are attitude issues that pervades certain ethnic cultures that dont lend themselves well for face to face customer service?
Nonsense on two levels. Firstly there are a ton of black people in customer service. I'm talking about the hospitality industry. Secondly, you're trying to say that the reason you won't see a ton of minorities working at places where there's money to be made in bars/lounges/nightclubs is because they all have attitudes???
I have two jobs in the service industry. At one point I had to drop the third. Why? Because the only places I make money are the places I'm the only black person who works there. The more diverse a waitstaff the less money they're making. It's just a fact. The more money there is to be made, the more the hiring manager will have a preference for petite, female and white.
And here someone had the nerve to comment on how I wear my hair and how it's "wrong for my race". I wear my hair so I can keep a job in this industry. I'm not going to get a good paying job in this industry in this town with natural hair.

I'm sure a class action lawsuit will be coming suing all restraunts for not hiring natural haired minorities because they make more money by not hiring them. Any statistics to back up your theory or just your eating habits?
