Outrage about bilingual interviews at HR Derby

While there are benefits to homogeneity in society, there are also benefits to diversity of culture and people. How much you prefer is a personal value though, not a universal one. The idea that culture anywhere is static is simply not true, not in Europe and especially not America. Immigrants in the past assimilated into American culture but they also changed it as well. It always has and always will be a two way street.

You can assimilate into the country you live in without forgetting your own culture. Immigrants from Africa and Europe are VERY good at this and as a result they tend to flourish in this country.

I'm not the "father figure" to the black community, but the justice system is.

Don't change the topic. My questions are about you, not the justice system. So again I ask... Do you really think (you) yelling at them and whooping their ass (metaphorically speaking of course) will incite change? If not, then why be agressive and beligerant about it at all? Does it just make you feel better?

Yes, all that is true but I don't see why that means a private company can't choose to accomodate other languages or to a broader point, why we should be upset about people who choose not to assimilate as fully.

I agree with you. Didnt bother me a bit to have the interviews in spanish then translated. If I was a celebrity in todays world of celebrity worship and celebrity envy, I would ONLY give interviews in the language I am most comfortable with. Drastically lowers the chances of a slip of the tongue resulting in someone getting needlessly offended.

Changing them isnt even the goal anymore. People dont change unless they want to and nothing i could ever say would convince someone who doesnt want to change to change. My "goal" in acting the way i act in everyday life is simply "standing up to the bully". If you want my lunch money, you're going to have to take it. Ideally what i would prefer to happen is that everyone adopt the same mentality and in the face of opposition, those who are the problem will learn the error of their ways and decide to change for themselves.
