some of the more ridiculous requests from employers right now -
an ice cream shop wants you not only to detail your work history in ice cream, but to send in a resume - for min wage. experienced pizza cooks open availability who can hand toss and be drug free should send in their resume - for min wage. everywhere else is open availability and be the little bitch for minimum wage. one thing the recession hasn't taken away is the corporation's complete ignorance of what should be expected for paying minimum wage. minimum effort. thanks to the immigrants for that. for so long almost all the min wage jobs went to mexicans who only came up here for a few years to save just to run back to mexico, so it didn't matte that corporations could demand so much for so little - it's not like thier workers were making a career out of it or would risk deportation to decry that fact for the most part. the government spends so much time complaining about iran and iraq - this one of many things that's destroying our country. allowing mexico to get away scot free with allowing thier people to abuse our system. mexico needs to step it the fuck up and take care of thier people because it should have never even became america's problem. i have no problem with the people who came here to be americans, this is what america is about. i have a huge problem with people who came here to be what they were and will be in ten years, a mexican. if mexico is so great then don't come here in the first place. i don't know if this is really a racist rant or not. it feels dirty saying what's been on my mind for years. and i'm reminded of my aunt, whose parents are both from mexico, who came here to be americans, whose father went to school here to be a doctor, and they are both productive members of society. i'm reminded of her because she is very openly racist about the stereotypical mexican immigrant here. am i being a racist for saying what i think?
