Emmy-Winning Mexican Univision host Fired Over Racist "Planet of Apes"=Michelle Obama

Re: Emmy-Winning Mexican Univision host Fired Over Racist "Planet of Apes"=Michelle O

It is kind of ironic. Mexico is one of the most racist countries on the planet. The spaniard descent mexicans think the native descent mexicans (people of the north) are walking inhuman scum bags.

This is true. It reminds my of my time as a Social Worker. Back then the county where I worked (heavy Democrat) started a program where the hiring of new Social Workers would focus on hiring "Spanish Speaking" Social Workers. That in itself was not a bad idea given that the majority of our clients were Hispanic and had a crazy disability that cause them to forget how to speak English when you asked them a question about the fathers of their children...

Anyway, the reason I remember it was because the county took quotas to a whole new level.. they didn't just have a hiring quota for Spanish speakers, they had a quota for Spanish accents. I had a friend who was looking to get promoted through this program who spoke fluent Spanish but was rejected because she learned her Spanish in Spain which, versus the Mexican Spanish, is the linguistic equivalent Her Majesty's English versus Tennessee Hillbilly. The county argued that a native Mexican customer would likely not trust a Social Worker with a different accent than theirs. :roll:
