This story doesn't even make sense. Burger King is not mexican food.

the implication by the fired worker is that BK only hires Hispanics, or that the workforce at that BK was all Hispanics, or that his work mates made fun of him, or he didn't like "Mexican". who knows what this guy's beef was.

some people can't even make it in fast food.

So some loser made a stupid sign and got fired immediately for it? Yawn.

Don't settle on the OP's link. You have to go deeper to the KFFM link to find out the real story...

A disgruntled employee put the sign up and was fired.

Racist Burger King sign - Now Hiring Must Be Mexican at Burger King

The "Opposing Views" link conveniently left "disgruntled worker" and "immediately fired" out of its agitprop blurb. Why?

Maybe none of the current staff can speak espanol or perhaps they need to fulfill their EEO report, I’m not exactly sure. What do you think? Do you find this sign offensive or are you okay with their honesty.”

'Now Hiring Must Be Mexican' Says Burger King Sign

I don't care enough to be offended.

It's right there with the article. So unless you see the actual store front you don't believe it ?




Second link shows " King" in the background:

But maybe few customers speak English.

In the second link Burger King responded by saying the sign got changed and the employee who put it up got fired and they had nothing to do with it..the employee acted on his own.

Huge Mexican influx in the area because of the farms. Some of the locals feel pushed out.
Washington opens their arms to the illegals. Simple.

Simplistic is right.

Burger King is not promoting Immigration reform so how is your post even relevant. A burger king worker posted the bogus sign...not Washington.

Why am I not surprised a right winger is trying to post something that is fake and pretend it's real.
