Please check one: White Native American Hispanic Asian Other

[Cheezoholic]

THIS kinda of shit is so fucking vile it disgusts me to no end. That's usually the What Ethnicity are you question. And it's almost always followed by What Race are you please check one: White Hispanic Asian Other. WTF!!!! To this day these check boxes are on damn near every job application, damn near every loan application, damn near every application for government assistance be it for food stamps or a small business loan. 40 fucking years I've seen these check boxes ever since I became an "official" adult. You know where I didn't see those check boxes? On the military applications after I aced my ASVABS in high school. Let me explain something about "other"...

Short story is this

My father was born in this little cornfield of a town I'm in now. His father was born in Spain, came here fleeing fascism to go to IU and became a dentist.

My mother was born in this little cornfield of a town I'm in now. Her mother was the daughter of "mix raced" parents a Cherokee man and an African American woman.

I could go in depth about my family history, its really pretty nuts but, my point is what fucking box am I supposed to check, and why the fuck are they continually asking me to check one over the last 40 years and WHAT THE FUCK IS OTHER!!

This is where mainstream racism meets the road. This shit is where individuals who "think" they aren't racist need to fess up and correct themselves in the mirror man.

Just sayin

1. I have never seen a check box for race

on a job application or loan application.

4. Seriously?

You must live in Canada

[Mr.Bill]

6. No, I live in California.

Usually where I see it is on any kind of government application, like unemployment or voter registration. and it is usually optional. I am 68 years old, have applied for jobs many times, hired many people, bought many cars and several homes. An employer would be insane to put it on a job application (other than a government job) because they would be setting themselves up for a discrimination lawsuit. I also sold cars for a few years and assisted many customers filling out loan applications, and I can assure you there are no questions about race on any application I have ever seen.

Where do you live?

2. I get that completely. I'm maybe an additional generation from a similar situation.

I do think it’s good to know— to the best applicants can decide— their “race” if the purpose is to monitor discriminatory hiring. Also race is important in politics. For example, a Party that’s largely white ain’t one I’m likely interested in.

But, I get it.

3. Why not an option for Human Race?

5. With Inhuman Race for MAGAts and other RWNJs?

[Deuxcents]

8. Ok. They just might be proud to check that box

[Cheezoholic]

7. Why not no checkbox

Or how about the good ol do you think your qualified and why on job applications. Ive gone through the resume/interview process 3 times in the last 6 months and made it to the application stage. Every application had those questions still. WTF else is this besides the obvious racism man. Its bullshit. Other, fuck theses pricks
