Imagine if companies were fined heavily or shut down for working illegals.

Imagine if the moon was made of cheese. Would you like a slice?

Govt - "dear businesses + corporations of America, we propose to reduce the amount of profit that you make"

It won't happen for the same reason that laws don't get passed to stop big business effing over the environment, or outsourcing everything to the East.

It kind of reminds me of how some folks revel in their ignorance.

This better not be a ploy to start teaching Abenaki in NH schools.
Other than that, besides reports in the 1800's of Americans forcing the native tribes to learn English, I can't recall ever hearing of anyone in the US being forced to learn the language of any immigrant.
The picture from the OP is the usual half wit comment with no basis in fact. Unless of course guncrasher is right and it was seen on a reservation. That is understandable.

One that I remember from some years ago..
A business owner, has a foreign customer come in, very poor language skills..
Memory says Cambodian.. He tries to communicate, just doing business..
Communication just wasn't possible, so the potential customer starts to get
angry, obviously by his actions.. Started having a temper tantrum, throwing
card and brochure displays, yelling in Cambodian.. Biz owner say get out, OK...
Guy leaves, door slammin, tires burnin, etc etc.. Biz owner forgets about it..

Weeks later, a process server shows up, with papers for a discrimination suit..
Biz owner won the case, but the legal fees bled him dry.. Ended up losing his
business over it.. Ruined the guys life, for nothing..

This has happened more than once..
There are lawyers just looking for stuff like this..
Like ambulance chasers..

on the other hand my gf and I go to a restaurant a few months ago.  she's white I am not.  the place is almost empty as it was early lunch.  the hostess ask us to wait a few minutes so we say ok.  2 white guys walk in and the hostess says follow me this way and have them seated.  we didnt file a lawsuit or said anything to the hostess other than it wasnt right turned around and left.

for every case people that is  filed of frivolous discrimination suit there's hundreds and thousands of people that clearly have a case but they chose not to do it.

Or had reservations....

Quite frankly, the way semp is constantly being discriminated against, forced into homelessness by "The Man",and menaced and tortured by the police, it is a wonder he gets anything done at all.


I have a different theory though...





Wait for it...

semp is the biggest racial bigot on the boards. Except for schlowy (if he is actually on the boards anyway).

really which man is forcing me homeless?  i never said anybody is forcing me to be homeless.  the reason I am going to is that my gf is out of a job, she's not in the best of health and that is draining a lot of money from our account to the point of wont be long before I am forced to either choose to pay the rent or the medications that she needs.  so I choose the medication and that is cool with me.  you dont see me heading taking her to the ER for the so called "free doctors".

and for you to call me a bigot just shows how little you know about me.  I just went to an hr investigation of a manager that was accused of being a racist by another hispanic employee.  not only did I prove to them that the manager wasnt a racist but that the hispanic employee is the racist.  he's out of a job and is well deserved.

and by the way 90% of my friends are white not including my gf's family.  I wont stand for anybody being discriminated against, be it brown, yellow, white or whichever color you prefer.

you dont see me associating here in aces high with the brown population only, do you?  99.99% of the friends I have in aces high arent brown.

the problem that you guys have is that you cannot accept the fact that there is actually racism in this country.  it is not widespread as it once was, but there is still a small minority of idiots that think one race is superior to other.  and all of those idiots come in all different colors.

I get looks and words not often but I get some from people that think a brown guy like me shouldnt be dating a white woman.  there's also some brown people that think i shouldnt be dating a white woman.  any of them that think I should date whoever is willing to date me they can kiss my rear.

Semp, racism is very widespread although it is now mostly being masked as something else. the only time it hits the headlines is when it's a white person being accused...

discriminating is still discrimination.  I do agree based on my life experience is  that all colors have a small minority that is as racist as they come.  but I have also seen some people that were racist turn around and admit how wrong and stupid they were.  one was my own uncle who was as racist as they come and now realizes how stupid he was.

edit: gyrene probably the only reason for the headlines is the same reason laci peterson made headlines while several other woman got killed that same week.  only what the media think is gonna sell gets reported.

[Melvin]

and for you to call me a bigot just shows how little you know about me. 

Yet you constantly bombard us with stories about your mistreatment at the hands of others due to your skin color.


Most, if not all of us realize that racism still exists in this country (I've got a doozy of a story about the time my Uncle and I stumbled unwittingly into a vaquero bar downstate  ), but we chose to not see the world or the people in it through skin tones.


You are the one who is constantly bringing up race and your oppression at the hands of others. And until you can get past your hang-ups regarding the color of people's skin, you will always find the racist boogeyman hiding in every shadow.
