I see that some others already jumped on this but my bullshit meter goes off like an air raid siren when I hear Europeans say that the US is far more racist.
Call us back when your minority employment figures are anywhere near ours. Last I read, the unemployment rate for young African immigrant minorities in France was at about 50% and at 20% for older age groups.
Can anyone say that the immigrant Turks are getting a fair shake in Germany?
Sorry guys, just because you smile nice to tourists from across the world, doesn't mean you treat your immigrant neighbors as well (unless of course they are also European.)
I give this thread a 9.3. |
LOL, another complete fail
you are looking at the employment rate of an "integrated" population that is here since ... lot of years and you are comparing it to the very new black people that have no qualification, that are poor and may not even talk an european language ?
it is a joke right ?
what about the employment rate of the latinos in the US ? you know the ones that only talk spanish and do not have the same culture as YOU
what about them ?

Cute response, but when 25% of the French born, northern African decended, college graduates are unemployed. Studies have even been conducted where applications were submitted with similar degrees with the only real difference being the applicants name. One had an ethic French name and the other North African and a greatly disproportionate amount of the time, the applicant with an African name, did not even get an interview or a call back. So, is that part of your "unintegrated" population? I consider domestic born college graduates to be pretty good citizens, don't you?
Current US unemployement statistics put latino men at 12%, which is higher than the white male 9%, but no where near as disproportionate as French statistics.
I certainly dont contend that racial discrimination in the US but the approach here is to attept to shrink that divide by acknoledging it's there. France sticks its head in the sand and even refuses to collect racial data while discrimination against it's minorities is rife.

It's true... and to make a comparison... Since Latio 9 to 12% is our worst...
8.3 to 18.2... in the UK. A place i'd consider much less racist. I thought it was the same.... but I guess not.

Now, if you find the unemployment rate of white eastern europe immigrants in UK, they will be through the roof! You think black immigrants have it tough?! Eastern europeans have to crawl to get jobs.
At least in Portugal, eastern europeans (who are pretty much always white) have it worse because they can't get a job, and they can't talk portuguese. Atleast black immigrants and south-americans can communicate with us.
|
So your arguement is that you aren't racist... just extremely xenophoic. Pretty sure eastern europoen immigrants would be under "All Ethnic Minorities."
|
Why am I xenophobic? For telling it like it is? The truth is, it would be even harder for easter europeans in US because of the Affirmitive Action! They're white, so they won't get the benefits that racial minorities get. Think about it.
Affirmitive Action is racist.
If you're going to give something, give it to the one that deserves it most. Ignore the race.
If youre helping someone, help the one that needs it most. Ignore the race.
