The 33 Whitest Jobs in America
The Atlantic ^ | 11/06/2013 | Derek Thompson

Posted on 11/07/2013 10:51:54 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

The workforce is even more stratified by race than you'd imagine. The differences in unemployment rates, participation rates, and average earnings between whites, blacks, and Hispanics aren't just stark. They're also sturdy, rarely yielding over the last 40 years.

The racial gaps are stark at the job level, too.

Whites account for about 81 percent of the workforce. But there are 33 occupations counted by the BLS (particularly those on farms, around heavy machines, in doctor's offices, and in C-suites) where whites officially account for nine in ten of all workers, or more. Here they are.

Down here in the oil patch, a good number of trade jobs are filled by Hispanics - mechanics, electricians, refinery workers, pipeline supervisors, etc. And the refinery workers are unionized.

I realize that this is Atlantic magazine, hence spies a racist in every woodpile, but don't you think somebody there would have enough statistical chops to recognize that the difference between 81% (the percentage of workforce that is white) and 90% (the percentage of whites in most of these jobs) is...uh...not that great? And explicable by reasons other than systematic racism?

If you're a doctrinaire liberal there must be a sign of oppression in all of this, and God help anyone who thinks otherwise. Suggesting otherwise got Larry Summers canned at Harvard. "Uh...maybe fewer women like math then men?" BLASPHEMY! It's oppression, dang it, it just has to be!

I wonder how many proggies realize that the reason we don't hold political dialogues with them is because they're so goddamn boring...

It used to be that a lot of the construction labor work was done by people in the neighborhood, where it was taking place.

Guys would stop by to work as diggers, or helpers, or clean-up crew and such, but the black pride movement killed that in black neighborhoods, they don’t want that work, and haven’t for decades.

Most blacks have a very different body odor than do non-blacks. Dogs DON'T react well in many cases thus making many of them aggressive toward blacks.

That's real retarded, sir.

Funny story...at least I think it’s funny.

Have a firend, he’s black...he was taking his kid to the baby sitter, who was white. My other friend, gave him a hard time about it in jest...his reply was “Some jobs only white people should do” caught me by surprise, but it did make me laugh.

If the liberals are so caring about the poor, they should give up THEIR jobs to improve the plight of these so-called poor.

The second one on the list really stuck out: Farmers and Ranchers. Yes this is a hard working group of people that have to be intelligent to be so productive.

Blacks are killing farmers in Rhodesia (sorry, the zimbabwe name sucks) and South Africa and God only knows where else.

And nothing is stopping non-whites from buying a farm.

My point is, if they kill off all the farmers and do not want to raise food themselves, just how in the hell do they expect to eat?

God forbid CWII, but should it happen the inner city crowd will die of starvation.

I’d love to see some of these ancient liberal scribes on MSM news be asked:

“You’re making millions per year far beyond normal retirement age. Why not retire and let the network hire a couple Ivy League journo grads with $150k in student loans?”

I once had a racist dog. She was adopted from a shelter. Nearly all of the employees at the shelter were black, so she learned to associate black faces with being in that unpleasant place.

Nothing more to it than that. But she would go absolutely berserk whenever a black person came to the door.

Come CW2, they will be 'buying the farm' in copious numbers, and their DemocRAT plantation masters won't be able to save them.
