I went to a job interview yesterday
   
I went to a job interview yesterday at a major corporation. I applied to be an administrative assistant, and passed all their required testing last week. I was told I had excellent scores, that I was very qualified, and that they were sending me to interview.

I didn't really think much of it yesterday, but I have been thinking about it today.

One of the interviewers made a comment that "We only have one other african american working here, but don't worry everyone is really nice". The other made a comment that "Wow we don't have many male administrative assistants".

At the end of the interview I was told I have the job after the background check is done. We shall see.

I didn't think much of these comments at the time, but I have to wonder. Surely they wouldn't be so stupid to end up discriminating against me and denying me the job after bringing up my race and sex?

If I somehow end up not being hired after I was told I was told I was well qualified I may file an EEOC complaint.... I don't know, maybe they were just innocent comments like they sounded like? But it makes me wonder.

Not many comments and all kind of boring but for documentation purposes.

Twixvoy is playing the race card now?  Oh, this oughta be good.

And for the record, there are LOTS of African-American people in the greater Phoenix metro area.  Bad Cat will back me up on that one.  A "major corporation" with only one AA employee?  Yeah, if it's Taco Bueno in Glendale, third shift, maybe.

I never knew he was black. He should apply at Walmart. He can get an employee discount on a black barbie doll.

Damn you're good, sir.

Admirable.

However.

I'm not convinced the Twix Candy Bar primitive is a black male--remember, DUmmies lie, all the time, DUmmies lie--because I always "pictured" her as a white stout middle-aged woman.

Time will tell.

I think DUmmy TwixVoy is tossing a curve with this black business. Sounds sort of like a red herring. At Target, DUmmy TwixVoy was canned for insubordination, and never even hinted at playing the race card. An obnoxious troublemaking twit like Twix would have fired that round at the drop of a hat. All we would have heard from him have been racist Target, racist air  port, racist cable company, racist everyone keeping him down. DUmmy TwixVoy is an overbearing, arrogant pothead, who's unlikely to ever rise to the level of a Target checkout clerk again, but I say it's a long shot that he's black. DUmmies lie, all the time. He may be starting an entertaining story line, though.

I call bullshit. A major corporation with only one other colored person? Where is this company? Siberia?

"...don't worry everyone is really nice". Now, who would say this? Maybe the other colored person?

Nah, this story is total BS.

It's plausible.  McDonalds is a major corporation, and most of the stores I've been to lately have been entirely populated with illegal hispanic employees.   Hell, you need more spanish to be able to order in McDonalds these days than you would in Del Taco.

Not around here...almost all obama voters at the Balto. McDs.

There was a post of his a few months ago where he mentioned he was black.

All along I thought he was a fifty something white female.

Okay; I must have missed that.

But it's odd he never played the race card in his tales.

I need to clarify something.

Not all blacks play a race card.

But it would be highly unusual for a black primitive to not play a race card.

Frank, you don't have to worry.  I think we understood what you meant from the outset.  Primitives are, after all, primitive!

Thats new and interesting.

He's already ready to go EEOC on them. How many other well qualified applicants were there?

And make accusations that s/he can't prove.

Geezus! Don't DUmmies watch COPS? 8 out of ten criminals documented, fit that bill. But of course they're just profiling, wink, wink, and those bandannas they have in their pockets are for blowing their noses. Oh, yeah, and they all seem to have the same spasms in their fingers that make them contort obscenely.
