Unfortunately racism, the original sin of this country, still exists and there will always be places and people that discriminate based on color. Regretably this is a prime example of why we still need affirmative action even though it's unconstitutional on it's face.

its so true

I once worked in a bar, as a waiter and we had male stripper night. What an awkward night that was. Some of the women (no offense to the nice ladies here) were actually trying to undress me while I served them. Maybe it was the booze that flooded the place that night, but things were wild. Our owner thought it would be a good idea to have waiters working that night, when it was ladies night. Which I think was a wrong choice and she ignored everyone's input to her so called idea. Some people in the higher ranks just have no regard to the people in the threnches In high school they had a system, that if one or a couple of the students in class were failing, they would take a couple of marks off of students who had high grades and give it to the ones who were close to flunking. Man, that use to peeve me right off. I'm not sure if they do that anymore, but it was so damn unfair. We worked hard for those marks, why should we hand them over to students who obviously put no afforts forth to passing in the first place

I woulda sued or something you're messing with my future right there boy!

What kinda effed up school policy was that? I woulda sued or something you're messing with my future right there boy! Its called grading on a curve. A certain amount will pass and a certainamount will fail. Some get brought up into passing, but others lose points. Thats usulally done when a teacher does a ****ty job of teaching and doesnt want to look bad But the teacher says something like "You kids are mostly dumb, so I will grade on a curve so 80% of you arent failing"

[Tied2thetracks]

LOL, I'm white an I work for a tribe of american indians. The can legally discriminate the white guys. And they do.

[MissJacksonCA]

ahhh so thats the famed grading on a curve I hear so much about... never had the pleasure of experiencing that personally... If I had to I would've killed everyone I worked damn hard to outscore my classmates

[mista_mo]

I find it at my place of work. It basically has to do with whoever the managers like, get the most hours and preferencial treatment (ie, they don't get the **** jobs). I can do the exact same thing as him, down to the last detail, and he gets lauded for being a hard worker. I also got hired a week before him, so i have senoirity over the guy (only a week, but i do have it) so it's bulls*it, and has made me wanna quit out of disgust.
