I have no idea what this California forum you are talking about is. Never said anything of the sort. Your posting that quote, which was later corrected and explained, in your signature shows that you are also interested in disinformation and not interested in truth. You too have chosen to take statements out of context in a clear and blatant attempt to cause division instead of working towards understanding and unity.
White people are a minority where I live, fyi. I live in a predominantly Latino community.
I read books to look at things from other perspectives. You should try it.
It may not be intentionally discriminatory, but yes they are discriminated against. If you study the subtle nuances of inequality, you might open your perspective a bit.
You are a fucking liar.
I find it quite ironic that you would bring colour into a discussion about immigrants driving truck. Then you use a false number to prove your point. I believe you meant to convey exactly what I think your saying and that is that you are scared of immigrants of colour taking away your “successful life”.
The big flaw in your logic there is that I'm married to a person of color who is also an immigrant.
Ok then, go to the secretary of state office when you need to renew your license and whisper to the clerk, hey I know you don't like black and brown folks sitting in the driver seat of semis, so let me get one of those CDL's since I'm white. Report back to us how that works out for you
I'm not that stupid that I need to read a book on how to not be racist.
Ive known a lot of white people and Mexicans that could use some books on it.
He didn’t fall into any trap. He stated exactly what he meant to, and that was you are being overrun by people of colour. The unfortunate part was I was talking about “here” which is, as everyone with half a brain knows, I’m Canadian. Race was not even part of the conversation until he brought it up. And “here” it is one of the fastest growing industries for immigrants. 33% of drivers are immigrants compared to just 13% 3 years ago. Most companies everywhere (states included) are actually increasing their recruiting efforts to include immigrants to mitigate the shortfall of drivers that is looming large in the near future. Diaz is a racist and I don’t give a shit if he’s married to a purple Zucchini, that changes/proves nothing.Ive known a lot of white people and Mexicans that could use some books on it.
I found this pretty interesting since I had to fill out some forms and saw that all of the race descriptions for Hispanics were changed on it:
To try to capture more accurate data in 2020, the Census Bureau has recommended combining the two questions into one, with "Hispanic or Latino" as an option for both race and ethnicity on the next census.
But that proposal has raised a question about Hispanic people who in the past have checked off "white" for their race: Will they keep doing so if "Hispanic" is categorized as both a race and an ethnicity?
The Census Bureau has researched how combining the Hispanic origin and race questions could affect responses. Its findings suggest that a combined question could decrease the white count in 2020.
"That would fuel some of the anxieties that are behind the white supremacist movement," says Morning, who advises the Census Bureau on race and ethnicity issues and supports changing the federal standards to allow a combined question.
She adds that any change in the size of the white population resulting from a combined question could signal shifting identities among some Latinos.
@PJ Diaz, seriously man, I think the trap you fell into was missing this thread from a while back: https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-politics-of-truck-drivers-urinating-in-public.984249/post-14931283
It would seem that the standard percentages of immigrants do not apply to the Trucking world. I would guess it is because most people willing to front a immigrant all the upfront costs, might have a reason to not pick people who are less likely to blend in with the locals.
I meant a overall trap (not one set here) of thinking immigration means race. People right now are programmed to hate the brown people seeking a better life here. Your point is taken about this thread, I was just tossing the guy a lifeline to understand the racist propaganda that he seems to have been buying into.
Yes I get it, throwing a lifeline to people that deserve it is a noble thing. It’s easy to get caught up in the animosity here. This guy does not deserve it. He disparages everyone that he interacts with. And then says he’s being taken out of context or not understood. He deserves exactly what he is getting.........carry on lol. There seems to be a lot of pretend liberals here but they are quickly weeded (hehehe) out as to their true racist leanings. They know that a mainstream righteous society detests them so they try and hide, but not very well.
no you aren’t you lying sack of shit
I would agree and give up if this was 2013 when I did just that being over trying to talk to people on here about the things they feel are ok to say. But it is 2019 and I now know that at the very least we have been under attack by at least the Russian military for 5 years.
I think he's just a cynical nazi troll asshole playing people.
Either way, if they are there my be someone who is thinking that what he is saying makes some sense and thinks if they ask a question they will get roasted (which they will lol). But a lot of people just have been in such a bubble their entire lives they don't really understand what they got passed down to them was some pretty racist shit. To them it is just logical, but they don't really it is because the racist that push that propaganda are cherry picking facts to sell them their agenda.
I’m not sure why I’m here, bored I guess lol, it’s gotten pretty fucking cold here so I’m hunkered down till I head south, great way to waste away the grey days of winter hell. It’s also quite entertaining to watch the defence of the indefensible and then the crying after their ridiculed. It’s gratifying to expose the lies some try and perpetuate to again defend the idiots/criminals they worship.
I get the need to put down propaganda lies whenever they are published. Its not all Russian, although there is quite a bit of that. Republicans have been pushing their own propaganda hard for a couple of decades.
