Officials working on the new Minnesota Vikings stadium said it might be difficult to meet certain employee-diversity goals.

The stadium legislation signed by Gov. Mark Dayton this spring included goals from the state Legislature to have minority workers make up nearly a third of the labor force and for women to be 6 percent of the workforce.

But...nearly all of the passagner s( the Masters of the Universe) were white.

I notice that in Philadelphia, too.

As for the food workers, they probably spit in the food.

I hope the Vikings only hire 13% blacks on their team, just to be consistent.

There is no end to anti-white bias and it’s legal.

Lowering standards so the 3rd workers appear more competent while lowering the overall qualiity.

This is why Govenrment will never shrink as it creates an artificial upper middle class for those people, guided as legitimate work.

EVERY SINGLE employee that worked for the airport, not counting the airlines, just the airport, was black.

Hartford, CT too. Just about any airport. Or, govt. managed rest stop on the Mass. Turnpike. White people need not apply.

I lived in Alpharetta north of Atlanta for about a year. the workers you observed were the rudest people I’ve ever encountered...lazy generally PO’d about everything (especially having to wait upon a customer). I’ve never seen such big chips on shoulders in my life. You see where the grievance-mongering originates. That was quite an education.

It’s not just the ATL airport, it’s the entire City of Atlanta Government, the State Government anywhere the AA Diversity quota’s are in place . . . and the “chip” is huge!

I can see you have been to Atlanta.

As an example of the shennanigans that go on due to the City of Atlanta controlling the airport, former mayor Bill Campbell fired the ATL airport administrator at the time, Angela Gittens, because she wasn’t giving contracts to Bill’s cronies. She had been recognized by her peers as the best airport administrator in the country the year before.

Bill later spent some time in the Federal pen for corruption.

It is long past time for the State to take that plaything away from the City of Atlanta.

Shut the project down and say, “Sorry, folks. Can’t do it.”
