Why is it okay for businesses to hire only Hispanics? (stores, post office)

A lot of that also has to do with self-selection by the people working there, or more specifically the people who leave those places after only a few weeks or months of employment, if they apply at all.

If you have a store with a lot of black employees, it may very well be that they'll make it uncomfortable for whites, asians or hispanics to work there.

If you have a store where everyone is speaking Espanol then it may not be a very good place to work if you're asian, white or black, so those employees end up seeking other gigs.

And you're probably not going to find a whole lot of whites, blacks or hispanics working in a family-owned asian restaurant.

The only example where it's not true is a company with Whites, because we've been conditioned to be as accomodating as possible toward every other group lest we appear "wayciss", and even when being as accomodating as possible there's always some perceived slight, or perhaps even (gosh forbib) a MICROAGGRESSION!!!!! Ahhhh! It never ends, we will always be blamed for being racist even when 90% of whites are not.

People gravitate toward different jobs. I work in a field that's 99% men. We don't discriminate against women even in the slightest, and I think a lady with a certain mindset could do well here, it's just that not a single one has applied in the past 15 years that my company has been in business.

And come to think of it I've never seen a female plumber, auto mechanic, hvac mechanic, roofer, mason, carpenter, etc. etc. but I think think it's the fault of the companies running those businesses. Maybe it's different in other cities.

That "self-selection" thing likely also applies to neighborhoods, and probably somewhat applies to schools as well.

You've once again pulled another strawman argument out of your butt. I can't even...

This is known as a "Fail" due to false premise. End of debate. Like with the Donald. Nothing left but bluster.

I was in a Vons today in West LA. Half the employees were black. The rest were evenly split between Latino and non-Latino white. Didn't reflect the demographics of the neighborhood, but since the employees were all qualified to do their jobs, polite, professional, and helpful, no one should have a problem with that.

The OP's experience is typical of one or two stores and definitely not typical of the whole chain.

Like the evidence when they walk into a local VONS and see 100% hispanic employees.

Really? The two different Vons I shop at has whites, blacks, and Latinos.

Are you not from here? Perhaps you would be better suited to go live in Utah.

There is nothing specifically hispanic about these businesses, i'm talking your VONS, Your Pavillions, Your Ralphs, Your Staples, your post offices, your banks, etc.

How is it not total discrimination against blacks, asians and whites when this happens? But if a business hired only white people, it's immediately called racial discrimination?

Why the double standard and (more importantly) why the hell doesn't anybody point it out?

I haven't noticed this at all. Proof? Take a picture. Because according to the Equal Opportunity Act, employers cannot only hire hispanics.

Since you're white and you witnessed this, why not snap a pic of the signs, ask for an application, fill it out and then sue?

Isn't that what white people do anyways? LOL, sue sue and more suing.

The social scientific method requires objective evidence just like anything else.

So, did you notice the three posts immediately above this one that point out the fallacy of your premise? Along with numerous others in this thread?

Here's the thing to know about "proof": it's not necessary for anyone to prove anything when the truth is entirely self-evident - as in the fact that these stores you cite as hiring only Hispanics - well - don't. You have no valid premise : you have no argument. Just silly foundationless blathering chatter of Storm Front talking points as evidenced by the quote below.

Would it be far fetched to conclude, based on all the circumstantial evidence, that these mexican/latino management teams are consciously attempting to weed out all other races but their own from the work force?

Remember, tribalist racism is cool as long as it ain't white people doing it.

Self preservation is awesome, as long as it ain't white people engaging in it.

Protection within an enclave is great, as long as it isn't white people doing it.

Believing in your own people is adorable and excellent as long as it isn't white people doing it.

So, is it out of the purview of logic to think latino managers will only hire latino employee's based purely on racial tribalism?

Silly alien. Can't even come up with a good troll topic.

Where the hell do you live?

FYI - non-Hispanic whites are a minority group in California and have been for several years now.

Minority status with no minority rights / privileges - go figure.

Oh look! The OP has a new friend. Lol.

Hey Bert. Do you know the difference between majorities, minorities, and pluralities?
