Google announced a new partnership with four New York City CUNY schools intended to serve Latino students and help them navigate digital literacy to enter the workforce.
The Grow with Google HSI (Hispanics Serving Institutions) Career Readiness program will see $2 million allocated through the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) to educate over 200,000 Latino nationwide by 2025. Grow with Google will partner with Bronx Community College, Guttman Community College, Hostos Community College, and Borough of Manhattan Community College, all of which have historically have served students of color, in particular Latino students. The goal of the partnership is to bridge the technological gap that Latino students encounter when trying to enter the workforce.
“Through this partnership, students will have even more access to critical digital and job-readiness training that will help ensure they have access to good-paying jobs,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres (NY-15). “I’m thrilled to see the Google Career Readiness program implemented in our community and look forward to its positive impact on our students and their futures.”
Latino workers face systemic barriers when it comes to economic success, largely because of a lack of digital literacy needed to succeed in higher-paying jobs. Over 80% of U.S. jobs require digital skills, but 55% of Latinos have little to no digital skills training making it harder for them to gain higher-paying opportunities. With more and more job opportunities requiring workers to have a higher level of online or digital understanding, a large portion of the working population is being excluded from the conversation.
These community colleges already cater to Hispanics in a way that they systemically block non-Hispanics from excelling and in some cases even enrolling. Meanwhile, nobody ever blocked Hispanics from learning computers and these community colleges are almost the only gateway in NYC for most middle class people to gain a college education.
Furthermore they may sneakily deny it but these colleges actually bring illegal immigrants to the front of the lines before prospective students that are legal citizens (well, unless they are Hispanics then they get a free pass).

Another reason to go after White Supremacists?
Care to provide any proof to support these claims?

What if it read like this, would it still be “cool” or would it then be “racist”?
Google announced a new partnership with four New York City CUNY schools intended to serve White students and help them navigate digital literacy to enter the workforce.
The Grow with Google WSI (Whites Serving Institutions) Career Readiness program will see $2 million allocated through the White Association of Colleges and Universities (WACU) to educate over 200,000 White nationwide by 2025. Grow with Google will partner with Bronx Community College, Guttman Community College, Hostos Community College, and Borough of Manhattan Community College, all of which have historically have served students of color, in particular Latino students, and now they are pushing those blacks and Latinos outta there to just serve Whites. The goal of the partnership is to bridge the technological gap that White students encounter when trying to enter the workforce due to Affirmative Action.
“Through this partnership, students will have even more access to critical digital and job-readiness training that will help ensure they have access to good-paying jobs,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres (NY-15). “I’m thrilled to see the Google Career Readiness program implemented in our community and look forward to its positive impact on our students and their futures.”
White workers face actual systemic barriers (not just dreamt up ones that blacks and Latinos have long benefited from) when it comes to economic success, largely because of a lack of digital literacy needed to succeed in higher-paying jobs. Over 80% of U.S. jobs require digital skills, but 55% of Latinos have little to no digital skills training making it harder for them to gain higher-paying opportunities, so now we are going to make it tougher for them by only serving Whites. With more and more job opportunities requiring people to be black, brown, or Spanish Speaking Only, a large portion of the White working population is being excluded from the conversation.[/quote]

If you don't agree with their practices, you should address them directly[/]
No nonono no. Do not deflect away from your argument that CUNY is not discriminatory.
Is CUNY a private company that is “cool” with blatantly practicing Intersectionality discrimination against white people?
Or do you only support blatantly racist programs at NYC public schools if it goes in favor of whichever skin colors you like most?
