Uniqlo: That's just where Asian people shop.
I included fat because I am sure they dont want to hire them too and that other post about it. Anything wrong with that? Or you just want to lump me in with them?

Wet Seal (seriously? lol)
If they can't even get a name right I'm not surprised the VP is sending out Nazi-style orders over email. She's not even a good racist overlord. You keep that shit on a need-to-know basis only.

you said "fat obese minority", that phrase just stood out.
Thats probably why i see so many cute guys at that store. I wish I could fit in uniqlo clothes.
. I love their metal gear solid t-shirts. The staff at uniqlo in new York seems to be of all nationalities and sizes last time I was there.heliosRAzi

I just didn't delete fat or obese and left it in, I tend to post first and edit later. yeah, i understand it's redundant, but it's quoted now so not going to change it.

From my experience in working in "High Fashion" stores, I'm not surprised.
Additionally, you'll hear a lot of "We just want to hire in proportion to the local populace". So you'll see like 9 white coworkers, leaning on blond, 1 latino, one black and maybe one other race working at the store. "But we hired Keisha. We're in no way racist"

Oh the singer? Seal? Oh wet seal ok
Oh boy that stuff is even worse. The definition of good intentions that go wrong.
Just let those discriminatory dinosaurs go extinct. And if they are stupid enough to show up their idiocy, punish them appropriately.
I don't see the connection you are trying to draw here.
I find referring to Wet Seal as "High Fashion" offensive.

Do you really take a question like "Should gyms have to hire fat people?" seriously in the context of this thread?
Really now?
i was curious as to where he got the connection of fat people and gyms from black people and this store chain.
thats a pretty far jump for a point.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was the hiring policy for pretty much any of the major clothing chains that usually populate malls.
Seems like all they hire are thin, attractive, white people.

I said he was trolling, not that he was trying to make a point. Trolling is typically devoid of a point, except that it's easy to manipulate people into anger.
you sure he was trolling though? do you know for certain?

I know that I'd be naive to assume otherwise.

I'd like to see the NBA dragged into court. They obviously need affirmative action for non-black players.
Yes, let's fix racism with more racism. That will solve everything.
That's what it is now?
Giving aid to people solely based on race IS racist. Giving aid to people who are disadvantaged is not. For example I support college grants to poor but smart students. I do not support college grants that are only for one race. That is racist. I'm not trying to detract from the obvious racism in the OP. I believe racism is best fought by educating people, not through affirmative action.
Explain to me then how it works? My understanding is that it is meant to help portions of a population that have been historically disadvantaged for unjust reasons. I think there are non racists ways about doing that. There fore I disagree with types of affirmative action that use race as a determinant for benefits. Affirmative action is a broad topic and I'm sure there are programs that aren't racist, but many of the programs I have seen are. Ex. College scholarships or workforce race quotas.

As long as white privlege exists, affirmative action should be in place. Or do you deny white privilege exists at all?
Historically? Do you even realize what thread you are in right now?
White privilege does exist, but don't you think there are non racist ways to correct it? And sorry, meant to put "usually meant*". Also I would attribute the poor economic situation of many minorities to historical disadvantages that are perpetuated by current racism.

People always say this line of shit then never actually offer up those so called "less racist" alternatives.
How about a non racist alternative? I think it's sad how most public schools that are predominantly made up of minorities are often
underfunded and understaffed/worst teachers. I've seen this first hand. My room mate went to a mostly black/Hispanic high school when he moved from Mexico. He is a brilliant guy and graduated higher in his class than me, but received a worse education. I'm all for cutting defense budgets and sending that money to poorer school districts, so everyone in public education receive equal quality of teachers and education.

Okay but how to do you solve the issue of prejudice within work spaces?

What does that have to do with affirmative action?
That was all he was arguing against.
Stop hiring the weak.
You mean besides.... everything?

oh damn, really? Well I look like a dunce then. I thought it was just education. Guess I have some reading to do. Thanks for the correction.
