| Any person that works at KFC for any prolonged time would eventually become incredibly good at categorizing seemingly unidentifiable pieces of fried yellow breadcrumb crust with chicken flavoured contents. They have to, in order to sort out the occasional chicken foot or head or other nasty bit that otherwise would end up in peoples meal-boxes. |

>Cultural connections. If your family knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody in a particular career path, you're more likely to get the hookups for training and hiring. That perfectly answers my question! Damn, Alfie! We need to get you on a game show. :) |

>Saying "There sure are a lot of Asian people in engineering" based on that, is not racism, it's observed statistics. Racism would be if I said something like "Goddamn Asians takin' all our fancy high-falutin' tech jorbs!" (It'd also be incorrect--the reason I got rejected for the most recent really good prospect was not because they passed me over for someone else... it's because the WHOLE COMPANY went into a hiring freeze. They took nobody, even though the guys who interviewed me said their department was desperate to hire someone new to share the workload. Goddamn Republicans ruining all our fancy high-falutin' economy...) LOL! Very true. The reality is, the races all bicker amongst themselves, while forgetting that there is only one true race war in America: the super-rich vs everyone poorer than them. |
