New Obama Regulations Will Make It Harder to Hire and Promote White Men

I wonder what happens if you check the
“ other” box?

[US_MilitaryRules]

I guess it means that all white men will own all the companies.

[I want the USA back]

How can it get any worse? white males already are not offered jobs.

-Maybe we can claim we are Native American / Pacific Islander and challenge ‘em to prove otherwise?-

If you were a liberal white woman who self-identified as an Indian at an ivy league school, that would work. But the government has EEO inspectors on government contracts, who, in my experience, have been black women, will audit to see that you are meeting your contractual obligations. Having a highly compensated minority employee who was not black would raise a flag. If that employee could not prove actual heritage, not self-identification, then the top brass who took the award fee and bonuses could face jail time. Unlike Hillary and her classified information, this is one that the DOJ would prosecute to the fullest.

And Barry’s already rolling out his plan to ruin decent suburbs with it.

[HotHunt]

Yeah, but nowadays if you are white, you can easily self-describe yourself as black, like the liberals do when they feel like it, and then just check the "Black" box. Or you can pull a Bruce Jenner and self-describe as a woman, and apply for a job as a woman.

Bingo. Problem solved. :-)

I once worked for a place and asked about my promotion prospects. I was told that the company (which did a lot of business with the feds) had too many white males as managers, and would not be promoting any for a while until that was fixed.

I left the next year.

[Harpotoo]

That’s why Trump!-)

[Himyar]

Since we can all self identify now, check which ever box gives you the best advantage. If I was still in the workplace, I sure would. Prove I’m not a black Hispanic woman. If enough people did this it would screw up the works.

[Little Ray]

Well, I am glad I did not resort to that, then.
Although, I MIGHT be able to prove Native American. Supposedly my father’s mother was part Cherokee on one side and part Apache on another...

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I have 2 grandsons. I wonder if they will have any opportunity when they grow up?

The only government certified American Indian I ever met in government contracting was a red-cheeked, white-skinned, redheaded Irish descended man whose hippy parents had him on an Indian reservation. He had a card, which he pulled out and showed me. His scam was to be a minority contractor on government contracts. He ran a pass-through where he got the contract, gave them the minority credit and subcontracted the work. I think you have to have some tribe that acknowledges you as a member. I don’t think having the genes is sufficient. There are several real American Indian companies with government contracts. I never applied at one of those, but I did apply at a huge subcontractor that claims to be Arab woman owned and is run by her husband. All they did was managed jobs for other contractors so those contractors could have the credit. They probably increased the cost of each project by twenty percent of so. I didn’t get the job.

[Little Ray]

Oh well. So much for that idea. Need card from tribe, not genes...
