LA is like this.
I had hard time getting certain jobs until I went into “tech”.
But damn near every basic college level job, required bilingual
If a Hispanics run the company don’t even bother applying for a job. True or false?

Facts.
And Black people were so kind and naive as to allow the Hispanics to enter Black enterprises like Black Music. If you want to understand them better, listen to the La City Council tapes with Nury and DeLeon..

it is relevant and totally correlates to your stance on this subject. If you live in the west you understand exactly why concerns and talk of this is raised
if you from somewhere else that does not have the same demographic of course your not gonna get a total grasp of this conversation.
or maybe you do have the same demographic and have your head in the sand.

Concerns dictate prudence, not principles by which you choose to live your life.
Understanding isn't the issue here.

All truth, respect due.
I'm just not with the idea of not even trying because you might hear "no", or what somebody might say. It's not the end of the world. Try anyway. Too many people out here living their lives like literal hostages, scared to go here-there-wherever because it's an unfamiliar space. So.the.hell.what. Life is for living, try things dammit. Ask questions. Make a mistake. Learn a better way. Heck, teach somebody your better way if you find out your way is better. Whatever. Just try at least. Too often, these threads turn into something way different than a simple "I'm having this difficulty", into a "woe is us" chorus. And that's some crippling weight to tote around all the time.
I feel you but at the same time, I'm not with the idea of people applying, getting the job then living through hell until they can find something else because if there's one thing I know, it's that these people clique the fukk up QUICKLY. They'll hire you as the 'diversity' token JUST to be the future scapegoat.
keep ducking the question

Black business owners need to do what cacs and asians do to them.
Just say that, "Unfortunately we weren't able to find any qualified candidates from other groups."
Or, "you meet the criteria to be hired but you wouldn't fit into the company's "culture.""
I just hired the best person for the job. I don’t see color.
But NOOOOOOOOO, everything has to be:
LOOK AT ME, I’M BLACK! HEY! DID U NOTICE I’M BLACK! BLACK EVERYTHING, ONLY SUPPORT BLACK PEOPLE, BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK. I WANT TO SEE A BLACK PERSON IN THAT ROLE, AND I ONLY SUPPORT BLACK STUFF.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, I’M BLACK.

I just check as race "Hispanic origin" or other
They seem to think I'm one of them.
It's a plus if they women like you too.
That being said, yes they do prioritize they people first and foremost
Yes they are racist pieces of shyt.
You probably shouldn't be optimistic about applying for anything in Texas ran by them.

It depends on what kind of Hispanic we're talking about...all Hispanics aren't the same or apart of the same group, Hispanic is very broad term.
If we're talking White Latinos, Mexicans, Cubans, etc then yeah the statement is true because it's well-known what kind of sentiments they hold towards Black ppl.
I'd rather work for a Black Latino over a CAC any day
before I found and was hired by a small Black owned engineer company several years ago, I've turned down many guaranteed job offers (good salary jobs) after finding out the boss/manager or whoever in charge was White.
I don't want to work for CACs nor have to sell myself short and lose my integrity or dignity as many of you have with the “code switching” mentality. I ain't about to go through all that BS with having to deal with passive aggressive CACs playing silly games to get me caught up and shyt.

1. You didn't ask a relevant question. You assume that I'm stuck in bubble thinking like people who have not/will not travel, and that doesn't apply.
2. Answers you don't like don't suddenly get invalid for that reason.
3. Well-reasoned cowardice is still a choice toward cowardice.
All true. Then again, you risk those conditions working for/with Asian people, Caucasians, East Indian people or many others who happen to be in the majority in whatever situation. All life is risk.
