“There was a Facebook post in the Lower Hud site and some minority was complaining that not enough minority workers on the Tappan Zee Project. I almost spit my coffee out so I posted “don’t worry you can hire the 38k rapist, murders and drunks that Obama released”.”
There are specific quotas of minorities that those contractors need to fill; the poster is full of it. What is more likely is that there are a large number of Hispanics (who may be mistaken for whites) and white women hired to fill the “token levy”. Probably twenty years ago there was a construction site brawl in NYC between groups of black and Hispanics who had shown up to fill the “token levy”; this is nothing new. These “jobs” are plum positions because they don’t have to do anything except show up and be black, Hispanic, or female; the work is done by white men. Hasn’t anyone noticed the 5’4” women in hard hats standing at contruction sites waving unnecessary flags for traffic (behind the cop car parked there to divert traffic already)? They are part of the “token levy” as well.
