Things like this make me wonder...

I have a black friend that doesn't really care for white people as he said, do to some negative experiences he's had with that particular race in particular situation. He got let go from a job that involved laying tile and replaced with a white guy. Anyway i had to drop some knowledge on this guy because he thought his seperation was due to his race. I asked him "how are you sure, the let you go because of your race," "how do you know that they just didn't find a more experieced person that would increase production for their business?"

Dont you ahte when people do that? I have a friend that is mexican, only been in the US a couple years. He worked doing AC Install. He was always late, wasnt a very hard worker, etc. and he asked for some days off to finish probation community service and they gave it to him. He got back, and the word aroudn the workplace was that he was on probation and he said the job was being racist making it harder for him to work there, LOL. I had to explain to him long and hard that racism shouldnt be mixed with unprofessionalism

I have the explanation right here frank:

People are always searching for an explanation. They will go with the most feasable one at the time. The one that makes most sense to them. If the race card needs to be pulled well, they pull it.

lack of a general perspective is what supports that action. Ignorance works both ways in "minorities" and "non-minorities"
