This b---h needs to be fired for racism and discrimination. Like all of the minions, inexperienced, inept, and a liability for this country. Moron wants to ignore how welfare is keeping so many in the 'community' at home instead of looking for those 'well paying jobs.' Why dirty those hands when you can get those claws that pass for nails, and attack people to get the expensive shoes and jackets.

Race baiter!

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg focused on racial disparities in construction during a Monday conference, claiming that construction sites are not employing local workers in minority communities and outsourcing to White people.

Actually, the potential AA jobs are being filled by illegal immigrants.
Blame the dems and rinos for the destruction of the middle class.
The illegal immigrants do show a high propensity to perform construction work.

If true, they're only taking them because they're available. With all of the DEI going on right now, a black person would get hired much easier than a white person with similar qualifications in any field. If they're not filling jobs with POC, that's because none are available.

This. It costs extra to pay for travel expenses. Why pay for it if the locals can do the job?

My experience over the last three years is that most of the companies are owned by white guys, but the labor is almost entirely from other countries.

There is a white guy who does garage door repair. He's Ukrainian and works his arse off.

Except for Hispanic folks, I haven't seen a "person of color" doing any actual work in quite some time.

Nearly all construction workers in my state are non whites.

Construction companies don’t give a shite about color. They only want hard workers.

How are you democrats supporting this shite? When do you see that you’re being played?

Is that Lilly white piece of shite stepping down since he took that job from a POC? Of course not. That’s (D)ifferent.

Just curious. What jobs and at what % does the Biden admin find acceptable for a non POC?

So by “White construction workers” does he mean Spanish-speaking brown people. They seem to populate a lot of construction sites.

At the Alamo Jim Bowie saw the Mexican army coming look at Davy Crockett and ask, “Did you order some concrete “?

Not necessarily, Mayor Butt Plug. Depending on the area or community, are there trained and licensed carpenters, plumbers, electricians, drywall workers, painters, floor guys, etc, who are also "people of color?" Granted, some of these tasks require more skill than others, but regardless, is it the fault of a general contractor if there is a lack of black trades people?

And in the small way in which I can make a comparisons, I've never given a shite if someone I hired for repairs and remodels was white, black, brown, or Asian. All I ever requested was someone who showed up when they promised to do so, worked efficiently, and took pride in their work. If they do that, the individual can be a f'n Martian for all I care.
