BENTONVILLE, Ark., September 10, 2008 – Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer and a leading private employer of Hispanics, will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, September 1 – October 15, by providing its customers and the Hispanic community with valuable information and resources for the pursuit of higher education. Wal-Mart’s commitment to supporting education initiatives will be featured in a national campaign that will coincide with the launch of a Spanish-language website, AhorraMasViveMejor.com, aimed at facilitating and empowering moms and kids to access information on higher education and school funding.

Walmart loves Mexico and China. America? Not so much.

They even have an industry term for celebrating Hispanic heritage: shrinkage.

Oh now that was funny....
Too bad a lot of the sheep will not get it...

I call the place “China Mart”. I do as little there as possible - not because of loony lib reasons, but because I’m sick and tired of Chinese junk. (Nope libs, I ain’t talkin’ watercraft......)

What a crock. Another sign of the destruction of American culture, our wide open borders and a malfeasant federal government that cares more about its own politics than it does THIS country.

If you saw the number of Mexican license plates (those would be LEGAL crossers BTW) in the WalMart and mall parking lots of the Southwest on weekends you’d understand why the celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. They want the money, and yes they’ll pander for it. That’s called retail.

Maybe if you made an American Heritage Month they’d celebrate that too.

Wait until Cinco Mayo where they celebrate the sinking of the Mayo ship in the Gulf.

Walmart Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month
Exactly what do they celebrate? That most of the Country’s that the Hispanic peoples come from are 3rd world nations that they fled from to come to American to make more then a dollar a week? To not be murdered by roving bands of narco-govermental terrorists? Inquiring minds want to know....

I see a very large crowd of this target audience whenever I go to my local Wally World in Southaven MS.

Corporate socialism is about political correctness, which means it is about political re-education, comrade.

You are speaking out of turn. Report for more re-education until you march in step with the group think.

It means Walmart is celebrating a cheap labor pool. Do they offer even cheaper discounts during this month?

"We pay an underclass to do work YOU won't do and pass the savings on to YOU!"

[boogerbear]

German Heritage month is Sept 15 - Oct 15. Of course Black History Month is feb.

There’s a lot of months.

It is a stock problem that is usually associated with poor,transients,and others that desire the merchandise but find themselves low on funds and morals.

Theft,in other words.

And it is not confined to Hispanic(another made-up victim class like African-Americans). persons.One store I worked at(not a WalMart) had shrinkage of $20,000 annually and that was with few customers of color.It turned out a major portion of the loss was employee theft.Employee theft includes failing to "ring up" items brought through the checkout by the cashier's friends.

“Shrinkage” is the term for the amount of inventory that disappears.

Some months are more equal than others. Corporations only celebrate black history month, women’s history month, gay pride month, and now apparently hispanic heritage month.

We don’t even need to name our calendar months by their ancient names anymore.
