    This shit is getting out of hand. I was at a conference for diversity a few weeks ago and lots of big corporations are giving bonuses to managers that can hire and retain non white workers. Are you kidding me? What ever happened to hiring the most qualified person instead of trying to get your % of a certain race working for you up

    Wow! Where yah been? The most qualified died in the last century. About 30 years ago, maybe a few more, I was doing my stint of college recruiting. I was given strict hiring gates,
    Whites and Asian, 3.7 GPA or better in Computer Science or Electrical engineering
    Blacks 3.2 or better in any BS degree.

    In about 9 trips to various campuses I managed to hire zero. Couldn't find any whites with that GPA only Vietnamese. The Head of the Computer Science Department at the U of W sort of clued me in on all the sharing of a multitude of things the Vietnamese of that day were sharing.

    I did find about three Black guys that would qualify but they were not interested. One from Stanford said it best, he had a 3.25 GPA and really proud of the accomplishment.
    After I told him about the Job, he ask me why I thought he would want to work for me? Because I have the job? He laughed and walked away.

    I allowed myself to get sidetracked. Who the hell wants to pay big bucks for bad coffee And an ear full of lefties talking points. When I go to Seattle I always have coffee at Tulley's,
    downtown Ballard. Walking distance from the Shileshole marina.

    I'm dark enough that I don't have to deal with what cracka azz cracka white dudes deal with, but i'm not dark enough that i'll be shot by the police. I have the best of both worlds.

    I thought it was all because of my Indian blood, but as I said in another thread I recently found out I have a significant amount of Spanish heritage too, that probably helps balance out my Swedish blood.

    I guess you will have to do without the benefits. Ha!

    I am Scott one side and Welch Scott of the other. When I went over there to vist relatives and check out the Clan country, I was surprised to find the Clan lands of both sides were but 20 25 miles apart. One Grandmother from Ulster, again about 20 miles a cross the channel.

    Lies.

    I've never seen a Mexican inside a Starbucks.

    Even in Mexico, its just Asians looking for free WiFi.

    Near me, there's a Black Starbucks. Some of the trippiest shit ever. Imagine that Starbucks in Beaverton in the Fred Meyer where all the little crackaz congregate on a Friday night, but its all black people instead. SO WEIRD BRO.

    Everyone in my family is enrolled in the Californian tribe we're members of, but we don't get any of that sweet casino money, ain't that some shit?

    I've always wanted to go visit my cousins in Sweden, but since we've talked to them on Facebook they're actually kind of weird so now I don't want to.
