A little suspicious?

The Taco Bell across from my school has a black store manager. Every single employee is black. There is not one Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, etc. worker. This is in a area that is mostly whites, with a mixture of races from students living in the area. It seems like there may be some discriminatory hiring practices going on. Thoughts?
 
if your'e looking for a temp job, go over and point this out, he shoudl hire you on the spot if you're white and is threatened enough that you'll file a discriminatory suit.

I'm not looking for a job at fast food. It just seemed odd to me that all workers are black, considering the circumstances.

Go work at A & F, you'll be sure to find no minorities working there.

Get the US Justice Dept on this. But unless you apply for a job there and get turned down because of your race I am not sure if you have a case or not.

My thought is that all the whiteys in that area don't want to work at Taco Hell, because it don't pay them enough to live their hoity-toity lives.

Students live hoity-toity lives? They pay $7.00/hour and all the surrounding restaurants have a mixture of people working for them.

Deal with it.

It seems it is alright for minorities to have discriminatory hiring practices, but not whites.

No, it is not alright. Stop self victimizing yourself.
 
I cant believe this question is being asked. Why would anyone care who works there? Its only a problem if other races are being turned away.

Have you been there for every shift? You can guarantee not one other race works there?

This is a troll thread to start a flame war on affirmative action and afro- americans. Pretty soon the "BET is racist" and "I hate rap and people who do not talk or act like me" guys will show up.

 
I've seen something similar. There's a video retail place in the city I live, I've only ever seen female workers there in the several years I've gone to the place. Dosen't matter what time or day I go there, there's only girls working.

Of course the fun part is when you find that you know WAY more than they do about the movies, both in release scheduals, specs, and general trivia. I swear, one time I was in there looking over the new releases, saw a copy of Return of the Killer Tomatoes, picked it up to read the back, and stood there snickering to myself as I did so, remembering how cheesy it was. Anyway, one of the sales girls asks what I'm reading, so I tell her the title of the movie. From her expression, you'd think I had just made up the title to insult her intelligence. I was just like "What?" and turned the front of the DVD towards her so she could see before she stalked off. The people they have working there amaze me in the complete lack of knowledge displayed about their products sometimes.

And, yes, I am a total movie slut.

Still, the point of the story being that strange hiring practices do exist and that it's not necessarily because they're the best people for the job.

[sarcasm]Sounds like a great place, that Taco Bell. I'm sure they have wite applicants lined up down the road passed the other Taco Bell. And every single one of those white applicants (btw, there is sarcasm in that sentence) are turned down. [/sarcasm]
 
i see that a lot in Short Hills and Summit, two of the most affluent towns in the state. i dont think its "suspicious" so much as logical. the people that live in that town all work in NYC doing high paying upscale jobs. not too many of the people who live in the town are minorities but those that are cerainly dont work at minimum wage jobs. the people from the surrounding towns (like mine) work in those towns becuase you can make good money.
 
There is one pizza place in the mall here owned by a black owner (my friend said he found that out). One day he took pictures of the other 10 or so food shops, not one black person working at any. The Pizza place had like 5-6 workers all black.

I just thought it a coincidence, my friend thought it was racism. However, my friend was sort of anti-black to begin with so who knows...
