Keep on showeing your ignorance Founding.

Do you mean to tell me that MOST cases of discrimination against against minorities are bogus simply because the minority isnt GOOD enough for the job?

Nice.

A friend I knew worked for the American Diabetes Association. He was the only male in the office other than management (of which there were 2), and the only black in the office. He was there 3 days. On the third day, his supervisor left early, and he was told by a co-worker who was immediately above him that he would be the only one left in the office, and that as soon as he finished his work he could leave. He finished his work and he left early.

On monday he got to work and noticed that folks were acting strange around him, whispering things. One thing he overheard was "...yup, I talked to the secretary and she said he did".

He finshed the day. He got home, and found a message on his phone telling him he had been fire for a timecard discrepancy. He had turned in his timecard that was signed by his supervisor before the end of the day, and BEFORE he left early.

Fired. Like that. Without an oppurtunity to explain what happened, without the ability let them know there were other circumstances. Nowhere did anyone mention that he was told he could leave early (again this is AFTER his supervisor leaves and his card has been signed).

2 months later that particularly office was shut down, and he saw two of the women he worked with (one of them also who was the whisperer and the one who told him he could go home early) in the EDD office looking for an appeal on their unemployment being denied. He was of course on the other side of the door assisting clients.
